Apple Pie Scones

Total Time23 minutes
Course: Breakfast
Servings: 8
Author: Mary

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter keep in freezer until needed
  • 1 large Apple cored, peeled, chopped
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream 35%
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp Icing sugar
  • approx 2 tsps milk or cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 F.
  • Add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Grate frozen butter into the bowl, then cut into flour mixture with a pastry cutter.
    Stir in chopped apple.
  • Add vanilla to cream, then pour into flour mixture and stir together until dough begins to form.
  • Gather up dough with a spatula and form into a ball, use your hands if needed, but try not to work the dough too much, just enough to form a ball you can lift out to your baking stone or sheet.
  • Transfer to your baking stone (or parchment lined baking sheet.
    Press dough down to form a circle about 8"-9" wide.
    Cut across dough as you would a pizza, with a sharp knife, to create 8 triangles. Separate them a bit so they dont touch as they bake.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 16-18 min, on lower rack if using baking stone, or middle rack if using baking sheet.
  • Remove from oven and let cool 10 min. 
  • To prepare icing, in a small bowl or cup, using a small fork or whisk, mix together icing sugar with 1-2 tsp milk, just until runny enough to drizzle over scones.

I absolutely love scones!

I bake them often, although probably not often enough if you were to ask the family.

They’re so darn easy to make, the flavour combinations are endless and best of all they turn out great.

My kinda baking!

Simple and delicious, they are a great addition to your breakfast or brunch table.

Also, they pair perfectly with my afternoon coffee…or tea…or whatever you might be drinking…

These apple pie inspired ones are the current favourites.

Make some today!

Bonus tip

*apparently buttermilk makes a great substitution for the heavy cream (thanks for the tip Juliana) I haven’t personally tried it, but I have tasted the results, as in my friend Juliana’s scones, and they sure are delish! You can be sure I will give this a try.
