This Redd's Apple fruit shortcake is out of this world! Think strawberry shortcake but with all of the fruit soaked in a sweet ale juice. It's an adult dessert that I really can't get enough of.

Now, let's chat about this Redd's apple fruit shortcake. I could soak my biscuits in the Redd's apple ale after the fruit has been marinated in it. Actually, I did soak my biscuits in it and it was HEAVENLY! It's sweet, fruity and makes some of the best shortcake ever! I've talked about my love of shortcake and how it provides me with some of the best memories.


Redd's Apple Fruit Shortcake
Ingredients
Biscuits
- ¾ cup cold milk
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold butter
Fruit
- ¼ cup blackberries
- ¼ cup blueberries
- ¼ cup raspberries
- ½ cup strawberries hulled and halved
- 1 granny smith apple cored and sliced
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup Redd's Apple Ale
- ½ cup whipped cream
Instructions
Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a cup, add in the milk and vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes or until you're ready for it.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the flour, sugar baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir to combine.
- Grate the cold butter into the flour. I placed my butter in the freezer for about an hour before I made my biscuits.
- Stir the grated butter throughout the flour to prevent it from clumping.
- Once all the butter is grated in, add in the milk and vinegar. Stir it until it comes together. Try not to overmix it.
- Turn out onto a clean floured surface. Pat out the dough into a circle and about an inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter, cut out the biscuits. Mine made about 6 biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared pan. I coated the tops of my biscuits with heavy cream to brown them up while they baked. This is optional. Sprinkle with sugar also optional.
- Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
- Add all the fruit into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add in the sugar and let sit in the fridge for about 20 minutes to get the juices flowing.
- Add in the Redd's and stir. Cover and let sit for an hour or 2.
- Cut the biscuits apart. Heat for 30 seconds if preferred. Add on the fruit and drizzle some of the juice on the biscuits.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream. Serve.

The appearance is clear and golden and the nose strawberry fruit. Flavor is much similar, artificial hard apple strawberry.
