⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ lemon freshly-squeezed lemon juice Juice from half a lemon.

For the Cheddar Herb Biscuit Topping

¼ cup organic cane sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons VERY COLD vegan butter, cut into pieces Salted works well.
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded dairy-free sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup almond milk, VERY COLD
1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice

For the Egg Wash

For Additional Sweetness

¼ cup pure maple syrup Optional drizzle on top when serving.
1 cup full-fat coconut milk/cream (organic)

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a medium 10-inch deep skillet with butter or oil.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with ½ cup cane sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, allspice, vanilla extract, and juice from half a lemon. Mix until apples are coated and pour into prepared skillet.

Biscuit Topping

In another bowl, whisk together flour, ¼ cup cane sugar, baking powder, dried herbs, and garlic powder.
Add cold vegan butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in dairy-free cheddar cheese.
Pour in very cold almond milk and lemon juice. Mix until just combined, with some lumps remaining.

Assembly and Baking

Spoon biscuit dough over apple filling, spreading it out but not completely covering it. Brush the egg wash over the topping.
Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until biscuits are golden and apples are bubbly.

Serving

Let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm alone or with dairy-free ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for flaky biscuits. Experiment with spices to match your taste. For variations, try adding other fruits or nuts, or use different herbs.
