 Categories: Fruits, Low-fat, Breads
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      2 c  All-purpose flour
    1/2 c  Brown sugar; packed
      2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
    1/4 ts Ground ginger
    1/8 ts Salt
      2 tb Butter
      1 c  Dried apples; chopped
    1/2 c  Unsweetened applesauce
    1/4 c  Buttermilk
      1    Egg
           Topping:
      1 ts Granulated sugar
    1/8 ts Ground cinnamon
 
  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F; spray a large cookie sheet with
  nonstick cooking spray.

  In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder,
  cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt; mix well.  Using a pastry
  blender or fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles
  coarse crumbs.  Stir in the apples.

  In a small bowl, combine the applesauce, buttermilk and egg; mix
  well.  Add to the dry ingredients; stir just until moistened.  The
  dough will be sticky.

  Place the dough on the cookie sheet.  With wet fingers, shape it
  into an 8" circle about 3/4" thick.

  In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top
  of the dough. With a sharp knife, score the top surface into 8
  wedges, cutting about 1/4" deep.

  Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick
  inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cut into wedges. Serve
  warm.
