Ingredients:  
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, very cold
1/4 cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 medium-sized apple, peeled and diced (small)
1/2 cup white cheddar cheese, grated
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup plus 4 Tbsp heavy cream, divided

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk well to combine. Using a large cheese grater, shred the butter into the dry ingredients; use 2 forks or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the mix, stopping when the mixture is a coarse meal.

Stir in the rosemary, then add in the chopped apple, grated cheddar, crumbled bacon and 1 cup plus 3 Tbsp of the cream. Stir with a fork just until a messy (sticky) ball is formed. Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and knead (with floured hands) until the dough has been worked into a ball; about 6-7 times should do it. Pat the ball down into a 1 inch thick round, then use a biscuit cutter to cut out as many rounds as possible, re-rolling the scraps as needed.

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, brush each one with a little cream, and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Eat at once!

(These freeze well.)
