Serves: 12-14 biscuits
 
Ingredients
  • 1⅘ oz. Butter
  • 2 Red Onions
  • 12 oz. Buttermilk Biscuit Mix
  • 1 oz. Shredded Asiago Cheese
  • 12 oz. Applesauce
  • ½ tsp. Ground Cinnamon
  • 4 tsp. Sugar
  • 2 fl. oz. Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1½ oz. Cherry Jam
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil and cooking spray.
  2. Prepare ingredients and mix biscuits: halve and peel onions. Slice halves into thin strips. Place biscuit mix and shredded Asiago in a medium mixing bowl. Measure out ¾ cup water. Add half the water to biscuit mix and mix with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough that just holds together forms. Add more water 1 Tbsp. at a time if too crumbly.
  3. Use a ¼ cup measure or large spoon and divide biscuit mixture on prepared baking sheet into 12-14 mounds, slightly smaller than ping pong balls. Brush tops lightly with olive oil and bake until golden brown, 14-16 minutes. While biscuits bake, start apple-cinnamon butter.
  4. Make the Apple-Cinnamon Butter: In a small pot, combine applesauce and cinnamon. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a thick spread, 18-20 minutes. While apple-cinnamon butter simmers, start onion jam.
  5. Make the Onion Jam: Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add onions to hot pan and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are fully softened, 10-12 minutes. Uncover and add sugar and balsamic vinegar. Cook, stirring often, until liquid is mostly reduced and onions are sticky and jam-like, 6-8 minutes. Season with ¼ tsp. salt, stir, and set aside.
  6. Make the Cherry Butter: In a small bowl, stir softened butter and cherry jam with a whisk or wooden spoon until combined.
  7. Plate the Dish: Serve biscuits in a bowl or on a plate with apple-cinnamon butter, onion jam, and cherry butter on side.
