Apple and Oat Biscuits

Perfect for a snack, dessert or lunch, these sweet and flakey apple and oat biscuits are simple and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter

  • 1/4 cup buttermilk

  • 3 tbsp light brown sugar

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus 1/8 tsp for brushing

  • 1 cup coarsely grated peeled apple

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce

  • 1/4 tsp lemon zest

  • 1/2 tsp granulated sugar

  • 1 egg, beatem

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.

  • Combine flours, quick oats, baking powder, salt, soda, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Coarsely grate in cold butter and toss with dry ingredients until well combined.

  • Work in grated apple, unsweetened apple sauce and lemon zest. Add buttermilk and work until all dry ingredients have been absorbed. (Note: It’s good if biscuit dough seems just a little bit wet. If yours isn’t, add a touch more buttermilk.)

  • Form dough into a ball and pat into a circle about 1 in. thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place 1 in. apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Bake for 20 min, or until biscuits are lightly golden and cooked through.
