I wanted a treat for breakfast. I also wanted another sourdough recipe. So, I modified Linda’s Sourdough Biscuit recipe to make Sourdough Cinnamon Biscuits.
I preheated the oven to 425 F.
I mixed the sugars, flour and cinnamon. I cut in the butter with a pastry blender.
I peeled and chopped the apples.
I mixed the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. I cut in the butter with a pastry blender until crumbly.
I added the sourdough starter and stirred to make a shaggy dough. I turned the dough onto a floured surface and kneaded it 5 times to form a ball.
Roll the dough into a 12 by 9 inch rectangle.
I spread the sugar mixture over the rectangle leaving one inch from a long edge uncovered. Then spread the apple and nuts.
Roll the rectangle from the long edge towards the uncovered edge. Press the dough into a tight cylinder and flatten the ends.
Slice the cylinder into one inch slices and put on baking sheets sprayed with baking spray.
Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the baking sheet while still warm.
The Verdict
These are delicious. There is a nice crisp exterior with a flaky soft biscuit interior. You could ice them but the filling gives just the right sweetness in my opinion. The apple/sugar filling is delicious. She Who Must Be Obeyed has informed me I will make these again. She must be obeyed.

Wow I could go for one these right now with butter melted all over it. Another winner David!!
Thanks, Sam. They are one of my better efforts!
These are REALLY good. After rolling out the dough, would it work to let it rest for an hour so the sourdough starter could do it’s magic?
It would be worth trying but it would come out more bread-like than biscuit texture. If you do try it, I would love to hear how it turns out.
Thank you Tall Handsome Man! ?
Just baked up your Cinnamon Sourdough Rolls❤️
My Husband Mike said…… MMM TASTY !!!
I did make a powder sugar glaze just to doll them up.
A morning filled with warm baking aromas is Heaven on Eath!
Happy Rainy Sunady Morning!
Take care, Lisa
Thanks so much for letting me know how they turned out for you! As for “dolling them up” I love it when people change a recipe to their own tastes!
Love this recipe ?
