The dry ingredients (flour, sugar, spices, etc.) are combined in a bowl, and the wet ingredients (applesauce and butter) are added to the mixture and stirred until everything is evenly combined. Then, the dough is scooped onto a baking sheet and baked in a preheated oven until golden brown.

What Are Some Common Variations of Applesauce Biscuits?

One popular variation of this biscuit is to add raisins or other dried fruit to the dough before baking.
