Servings: 8 scones
Ingredients
Topping
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Scones
- 1 large apple, about ¾ to 1 cup, peeled and shredded
- 2¾ cups unbleached all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- 2 teaspons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup salted butter, cold and cubed
- ½ cup milk, cold
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the all purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Give it a good whisk.
- Cut in the cold cubed butter with a pastry blender, fork, or your hands until it resembles course crumbs. Or use the new pastry beater for the kitchenaid stand mixer!
- Add the shredded apple to the flour mix and fold it together.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cold milk, egg and vanilla extract. Add to the flour and apple mix and using a rubber spatula or your hands fold together until everything is mostly combined being careful not to overmix. If the dough is too sticky, add an extra tablespoon or 2 of flour. This will depend on how juicy your apple is.
- Now turn the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and using the fold method shape the dough into a 8 to 9 inch circle.
- Then cut the dough into 8 triangles and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake in preheated oven on center rack for 20-25 minutes until the edges and bottoms are golden brown and the sides look set and not glossy.
