Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup vegan butter
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold vegan butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until crumbly.
Stir in the granulated sugar.
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and vanilla extract. Pour this liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apple gently.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into an 8-inch round disk.
Cut the disk into 8 triangles using a sharp knife.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.
Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add a teaspoon of almond milk and mix until smooth. If too thick, add a little more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.
Drizzle the glaze over the scones once they have cooled slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
