As pumpkin-spice season arrives, don’t forget about the crisp, sweet apples that define autumn. These cinnamon apple biscuits capture that seasonal flavor and are filled with tender pieces of juicy apple.
There’s something comforting about cooler weather — open windows, the sound of leaves rustling, and the urge to bake. When the air turns crisp I love to spend time in the kitchen, testing recipes that warm the house and the soul. These biscuits are the kind of result that makes cold afternoons better: lightly spiced, moist, and pleasantly apple-forward.
The biscuits have a tender, moist crumb with a subtle cinnamon note and frequent bursts of fresh apple. Shaped into maple leaves or made with a classic round cutter, they bring the essence of fall to your breakfast or snack table. For a sweeter finish, drizzle a simple icing made from powdered sugar and a drop of maple extract.

These cinnamon apple biscuits are a simple, seasonal treat—soft, lightly spiced, and studded with apple for a bright fruity bite.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 2 medium apples, peeled and chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
- 1/2 cup plain vegan yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly oil two baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
- Cut the coconut oil into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
- Stir in the chopped apples, nondairy milk, and yogurt just until combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and pat it to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a round biscuit cutter or a seasonal cookie cutter to cut the biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Gather the scraps, pat the dough back to 1/2 inch thick, and cut additional biscuits. Repeat until all dough is used.
- Bake 20–25 minutes, until the bottoms are golden and the centers are set. Cool slightly before serving.
