By Kathy_Hester

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and oil 2 baking sheets.

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.

Cut in the coconut oil with a pastry blender or with 2 forks until the mixture resembles a course cornmeal.

Stir in the apples, milk and yogurt just until combined. Pour out the mixture onto floured cutting board patting the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Using a round biscuit cutter or seasonal cookies cutter, cut out the biscuits and place on greased baking sheet.

Reform your dough and pat down again to 1/2 inch and cut out more biscuits. Repeat until all the dough is used.

Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until bottoms are browned and the middle of the biscuit is firm.
