3-Ingredient Cheesy Biscuits
2 cups Unbleached, Self-rising Flour
4 ounces, weight Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Heavy Cream, More As Needed
FOR THE APPLE SAUSAGE GRAVY:
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Red Apple, Diced Small, Divided
1 pound Loose Sweet Italian Sausage
3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
4 cups Whole Milk
1 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
1/4 cups Chopped Parsley, Divided
Kosher Salt, As Needed

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F and situate the rack to the upper third. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2
Grate or shred the cheese and toss it with the flour. Add the cream, stirring to make a cohesive dough. If the dough seems to dry, add more heavy cream (in 1-tablespoon increments) until the dough comes together nicely. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface.
3
Pat the dough into a disc 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Using a 2-inch cutter (or other size of your choice) to cut rounds out of the dough. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with more cream to help brown the crust.
4
Bake the biscuits for 15-18 minutes, until they're golden brown. Remove from the oven.
5
While the biscuits are baking, prepare apple sausage gravy. Melt butter in a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add all but 1 tablespoon of the diced apple and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously until the apple is just brown and caramelized. Remove the apple from the pan and set aside. Leave the stove on.
6
Add the sausage to the same pan. Break up the sausage as it cooks until it is brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the milk slowly and continue to cook for about 8 minutes or until the gravy is nice and thick, stirring frequently. Season with black pepper and cayenne pepper. Add salt if needed and stir in most of the parsley, leaving some for garnish. Stir the apple back in. Remove from heat.
7
Serve the gravy over the cheesy biscuits and garnish with parsley and diced apple. Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
