Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the cold butter cubes into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overmix; small pea-sized butter chunks are ideal.
Stir in the applesauce and Greek yogurt, mixing just until the dough starts to come together. Avoid overworking the dough for the fluffiest biscuits.
Add the skim milk gradually, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together but is not too sticky. You may not need all of the milk.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3-4 times. Pat or roll the dough out to approximately 1/2-inch thickness.
Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuit shapes and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, re-roll the dough, and cut out additional biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown and the biscuits have risen.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy them warm!
