APPLE CINNAMON SCONES



Apple Cinnamon Scones image

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.

Time 45m

Yield About 18 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

361 grams (3 cups) all-purpose flour
132 grams (2/3 cup) granulated sugar
12 grams (1 tablespoon) baking powder
2 grams (1 teaspoon) ground cinnamon
1 gram (1/4 teaspoon) fine sea salt
142 grams (5 ounces) (10 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
340 to 425 grams (2 to 2 1/2 cups) chopped apples, peeled if desired
242 grams (1 cup) heavy cream
Egg wash: 57 grams (1 large) egg, beaten with 15 grams (1 tablespoon) water and a small pinch of fine sea salt
Turbinado or coarse sugar, for sprinkling

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.

APPLE CINNAMON SCONES

***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



Apple and Oat Scones with Cinnamon and Nutmeg image

These scones are light yet hearty. Fresh apple keeps them moist, buttermilk contributes tenderness, and oats add a pleasantly toothsome texture.

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or rub in with your fingers.

Bake until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool on sheets for 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

EASY APPLE CINNAMON WALNUT SCONES



Easy Apple Cinnamon Walnut Scones image

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.

Yield Makes 6 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups blanched almond flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons butter, as cold as possible (preferably frozen), cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 small Granny Smith or Fuji apple, peeled, cored, and cut into thin tiles

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!
  • BONUS RECIPE!
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a firm, tart apple that will hold its shape when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create flaky layers in the scones.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to prevent the scones from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
