Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.66 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Additional sugar for sprinkling
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, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the diced apple until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a rough circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 even wedges (like pizza slices) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each scone.
Sprinkle the tops of the scones with the extra tablespoon of sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with clotted cream or butter!
