Method

Method:

  1. While biscuits bake, in a small bowl, combine Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium to medium-low, heat butter. Add apples and spice, and sauté, frequently stirring, until softened, but ensure skin retains some color, lowering heat if necessary. Add brown sugar and non-dairy creamer, and cook, stirring continually, until apple pieces are coated in a thick caramel-like sauce.
  3. To serve: halve warm biscuits and place on 4 serving plates. Dollop 1/4 of the Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese mixture on bottoms of each biscuit. Spoon 1/4 of apple mixture over, place tops of biscuits at an angle against each stack, and sprinkle with garnish. Serve immediately.
