Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until well blended.
3. Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the butter pieces resemble small peas.
4. Add Milk: Slowly pour in the milk, stirring gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Shape and Bake

1. Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out rounds, reshaping scraps as needed.
2. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
3. Brush with Milk: Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with a little milk for a golden finish.
4. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and risen.

Prepare the Spread

1. Mix Apple Butter and Honey: In a small bowl, stir together the apple butter and honey (if using) until smooth.

Serve

1. Spread and Enjoy: Serve the warm biscuits with a generous dollop of apple butter. Enjoy!
