Instructions:
-
Prepare the Apples: Begin by washing the golden apples thoroughly. Slice them into wedges, removing the core and seeds. Place the apple slices into a blender or food processor, add the lemon juice, and blend until smooth, forming a pureé. Set aside.
-
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour. Add the cold butter and rub it into the flour with your fingers, crumbling it until you achieve a fine texture. Stir in the sugar, followed by the ground turmeric for added flavor and vibrant color. Add the baking powder and mix everything together.
-
Form the Biscuits: Crack the eggs into the bowl and begin mixing the dough with your hands or a spatula until it comes together. Once the dough is formed, transfer it to a floured surface. Roll the dough into a log shape, then cut it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
-
Shape the Biscuits: Arrange the biscuit balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press each ball gently with your finger to create a small indentation in the center.
-
Fill and Bake: Spoon a small amount of the prepared apple pureé into each indentation. Sprinkle a little extra sugar over the top for a sweet finish.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy the soft, aromatic flavor of apples paired with the subtle warmth of turmeric in every bite!
These soft biscuits are perfect for tea time or as a sweet treat for guests, with the unique combination of apples and turmeric creating a delightful twist on traditional cookies.
