APPLE CINNAMON SCONES
I landed my first job in a bakery when I was sixteen. I would come in after school and make huge batches of scone mix to help the morning baker. After I graduated from high school, I became the principal baker --and spent the summer waking up at 2 a.m. Even though I had to go to bed at 7 p.m., I felt like the coolest kid in town. The bakery offered a bunch of different flavors of scones, and I could never decide on a favorite.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C), with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat the cubes with flour. Cut the butter into the flour by rubbing it between your forefingers and thumbs until the butter pieces are between the size of peas and walnut halves. Add the chopped apples and toss gently to combine.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cream. Toss the mixture with your fingers to combine, then knead gently to ensure everything is evenly moistened.
- Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets (I do this by hand because I like them to look craggy, but you can use a No. 16 (1/4-cup scoop)), leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between them. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the scones, switching the sheets from front to back and top to bottom at the halfway mark, for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops and edges are golden brown. The scones can be served warm or at room temperature.

***Updated 4/8/08 - This recipe has been adjusted regarding bake times and temperature. That seemed to correct the problems stated by the reviewer (based on her baking these again.) The reviewer did suggest to just use a powdered sugar/milk glaze over the scones also. Thank you to "Chef #532663" for all her help in figuring out what when wrong the first time.**** From Pillsbury recipe clip-out. I made these years ago and unfortunately cannot remember the results...one of the few recipes I did not write down a comment outside of the date I made them.

APPLE AND OAT SCONES WITH CINNAMON AND NUTMEG
These scones are light yet hearty. Fresh apple keeps them moist, buttermilk contributes tenderness, and oats add a pleasantly toothsome texture.

EASY APPLE CINNAMON WALNUT SCONES
I made these up this morning when we were looking for a different flavour of scone for breakfast. I forgot to put sugar in the scones, so I sprinkled the top with Demmara Sugar - and I like them better that way! It adds a nice crunch on top. These are not your typical buttery scone - these are more of a hearty, healthy, and hold you till lunch kind of scone! If you don't have cinnamon chips, add a tbsp or two of brown sugar and increase the cinnamon to 1 tsp to compensate.

Steps:
- DO THIS:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the pieces of cold butter into the dry ingredients until a crumbly mixture is produced. Then, mix the cinnamon into the almond flour mixture.
- 3. In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, apple cider vinegar, and honey.
- 4. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, and pour the egg mixture into it.
- 5. Gently mix with a spatula until a wet, chunky dough forms, and then throw in the apple. Combine the ingredients with your hands, and form a ball of dough.
- 6. On a sheet of parchment paper or a nonstick surface, gently flatten the ball with your hand. The round of dough should be about 3/4 inch thick. Using a pastry cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into 6 equal-sized wedges, and arrange them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. The scones are ready when they're golden brown, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Transfer the scones onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
- This isn't just another subpar substitute for the real thing. It's BETTER than scones made with wheat flour!

- In the mood for Dark Chocolate Cherry Scones instead? Follow the same recipe, but leave out the cinnamon and apple. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in step 3. Then, in step 5, add 3 ounces of super dark chocolate, cut into bite-size chunks, and 1/4 cup of dried cherries.

Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- PREHEAT OVEN TO 400 DEGREES
- WHISK TOGETHER FLOUR, OATS, BROWN SUGAR, CINNAMON, NUTMEG, BAKING POWDER, BAKING SODA AND SALT. CUT IN BUTTER WITH PASTRY BLENDER.

Tips:
- Properly Measure Ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially dry ingredients like flour, sugar, and baking powder. This ensures consistent results.
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Apples: Choose firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a tart-sweet flavor. Fresh apples provide the best texture and flavor to your scones.
- Work the Dough Gently: Avoid over-mixing the dough. Overworking can result in tough scones. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the scones hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much. This also contributes to a flaky texture.
- Preheat the Oven: Make sure the oven is fully preheated before baking the scones. This helps them rise evenly and prevents them from becoming dense.
- Don't Overbake: Keep a close eye on the scones while baking. Overbaking can dry them out. Check the scones for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time.
- Let the Scones Cool: Allow the scones to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. This helps them set and prevents them from crumbling.

Apple cinnamon scones are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of sweet apples, warm cinnamon, and a flaky, buttery crust.
