Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, solid
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Apple, peeled, cored, and diced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a smaller bowl, combine the applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it will lead to tough scones.
Fold in the diced apple pieces until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disc about 1-inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
Carefully place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature, plain or with a dairy-free spread of your choice.
