Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Golden Apples | 230g |
| Whole Wheat Flour | 130g |
| All-Purpose Flour | 125g |
| Almond Flour | 125g |
| Muscovado Sugar | 100g |
| Sunflower Oil | 200g |
| Eggs | 110g |

Instructions:
-
Start by washing the Golden apples thoroughly. Cut them into quarters, then slice them thinly and roughly chop them with a knife to create small chunks of apple.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the muscovado sugar and eggs. Mix well.
-
Grate the lemon zest into the bowl, adding it to the sugar and egg mixture. Stir in the chopped apple pieces.
-
Add the almond flour and all-purpose flour to the mixture. Continue mixing using a spatula until everything is well incorporated into a smooth dough.
-
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle (10mm size). This will help shape the biscotti into their signature form.
-
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pipe the dough into long, thin sticks on the tray, spacing them evenly.
-
Decorate the top of each biscotti with a few almond slivers for an extra crunch and a beautiful presentation.
-
Continue piping and decorating until all the dough is used up.
-
Place the tray in a preheated oven and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes or until the biscotti are golden and firm to the touch.
-
Once baked, remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving.
These Apple and Almond Biscotti are the perfect balance of sweet and nutty, with a light crunch that makes them an ideal companion to a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy!
