Applesauce Biscuits

Another fall treat that goes perfectly with any meal!  I used the Happy Herbivore recipe but had to add extra applesauce to the recipe because the mixture was very dry without it.  The biscuits turned out delicious, with just a hint of sweetness.  We ate them with soup and the leftovers for breakfast :-)

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour (white)
• 1 whole red apple, diced
• 2 tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tsp Stevia
• 1 tsp cinnamon

 

Instructions

 Makes 12 biscuits.

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
2. Core an apple and quarter. Add apple to a blender or food processor with a splash of water and pulverize into the consistency of applesauce, adding a touch more water if necessary.
3. Add unsweetened applesauce to blended apple, mix together using blender or food processor and set aside.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, Stevia and cinnamon. (You can also add 1 tsp fresh rosemary, instead of the Stevia and cinnamon for a savory biscuit here).
5. Add applesauce mixture to flour mixture 1/4 cup at a time until the batter is moist (wetter is better; you should use most of or all of the applesauce).
6. Drop large spoonfuls on the cookie sheet and bake 10-13 minutes, or until firm to the touch and lightly golden on the bottom and edges.
