Cinnamon Apple Biscuits

Ingredients

*If you don’t have buttermilk, mix ½ cup + 3 Tbsp (156g) whole milk with 1 Tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar and let sit for 15 minutes.

**You’re wanting about 1 cup (115g) of shredded apple. We love the super fresh Michigan apples from The Apple Truck.

Heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix baking soda into buttermilk. Let sit for 5 minutes during which time it will expand to about a cup.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
Using a grater with large holes, grate frozen butter into flour mixture, tossing to coat every so often. Then grate apple(s) into mixture, tossing to coat as well.
In the centre, make a well, then pour in buttermilk. Mix just until dough comes together; it’ll be looking rough at this point.
Tip your dough out onto a lightly floured surface, then work it together, taking care to not overwork it. Pat dough into a rectangle that is about 1" thick. Using a bench scraper or sharp knife, cut dough into thirds. Stack thirds, then again pat into a rectangle that is about 1" thick. Repeat one more time. Cut rectangle into 8 equal pieces. Carefully transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
While biscuits are baking, melt butter. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon together.
As soon as you remove the biscuits from the oven, brush ‘em with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
Enjoy immediately!
