Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup cold butter
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and cubed
  • ¾ cup butterscotch chips
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • coarse sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F. 
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. 
  • Pour the flour mixture into your food processor and add in the butter. Process until the mixture looks like coarse meal. 
  • Pour back into the large bowl. Mix in the apples and butterscotch chips. 
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, vanilla and applesauce. 
  • Mix in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until fully combined. 
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Scoop the batter by ¼ cupfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the coarse sugar. 
  • Bake for around 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheets briefly. Serve warm, or store in an airtight container for later.
