Apple Biscuits

2 c. all purpose flour
2 Tbs sugar
2 Tsp baking powder
1/2 cup margarine or softened butter
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
3 Tbs brown sugar
1/4 tsp allspice
1 apple, cored and diced (2/3 cup)
2 tsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.

In a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, and sugar. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center, and add milk and egg. Stir until dough clings together. On a lightly floured surface knead dough for 12-15 strokes.

On a floured surface roll out dough into a 15" long and 8" wide rectangle. In a small bowl combine apple and lemon juice. Brush dough lightly with water, and sprinkle half, lengthwise, with brown sugar and allspice. Sprinkle apples over sugar. Fold other half of dough over apple.

Cut into 15" x 1" strips and twist strips. Place on baking sheet. Bake in oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
