Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or clean hands.
In a small bowl, stir together the applesauce and buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the dough comes together; it will be sticky.
Using two spoons, drop the dough in about ½ tablespoon-sized mounds on the prepared baking sheet. There should be 36 biscuits total. Bake for 4-5 minutes until the bottoms are slightly browned.
When the biscuits are cool, assemble the kabobs by alternating three biscuits and three strawberry slices on each skewer.
