Cheesy Apple Biscuits
You may notice there are no photos of Neko eating these biscuits. That’s because the first (and last) bite she took was immediately catapulted out of her mouth as soon as it touched her tongue. I’ve hesitated to post “failure” recipes here before, but I’m making an exception for this one for two reasons.
First of all, I liked these biscuits. I served them with soup, but I think they’d do better as part of a brunch menu. They’re best served right after baking, when the cheese is warm and the apples are soft, smeared with a touch of salty butter.
Secondly, Neko is not so much a fan of finding sweet things mixed with her savory ingredients. When she bit into a cheesy biscuit and got a bite of tart green apple, I think it threw her off. She’s never really liked apples or applesauce, but I think kids who do like apples will like these biscuits a lot, especially if you make them with a sweeter apple than a Granny Smith.
So while I won’t put these at the top of my list as long as Neko is apple averse, I think that other people may have more success with them. And hey, if your kid won’t eat it, that just means more for you, right?

I am new to your blog, and I have to admit the name was the first thing that drew me in-totally brilliant! Luckily for me I have some apples in the crisper that are dying to be part of a new dish and I think these biscuits might just be the right fit. Ciao! ^_^
I have a bad habit of buying apples and letting them go bad in the fridge, too. This is a fun use for them! I hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for stopping by, Rachel!
