About Apple cinnamon scone

Apple cinnamon scones are a baked good often associated with British cuisine, though they are enjoyed globally. These scones combine the natural sweetness of apples and the warm spice of cinnamon, creating a flavorful treat. Nutritionally, they are typically rich in carbohydrates due to flour and sugar content, with moderate fats from butter or cream. Adding fresh apples contributes dietary fiber and vitamin C, while cinnamon provides trace amounts of manganese and antioxidants. Depending on the preparation, they also contain small amounts of protein from milk or eggs.

Health Benefits

• Rich in dietary fiber from apples, which supports digestive health and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Contains cinnamon, which is rich in antioxidants like polyphenols that help combat oxidative stress in the body.
• Provides vitamin C from apples, which supports immune function and skin health.
• If made with whole-wheat flour, they include additional fiber and B vitamins for energy metabolism.
• Moderate levels of manganese from cinnamon contribute to bone health and metabolism.
