Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl (I use these mixing bowls), combine the gluten-free flour, cinnamon, baking soda and sweetener of choice. Add the cold cubed butter and give it a stir to coat the butter with the flour mixture. Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together until the mixture is fully combined and crumbly - the butter should be the size of peas, do not over mix.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg, sour cream/buttermilk and vanilla and stir to combine.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula, just until the ingredients almost come fully together - do not quickly stir (only gentle folding) and do not over mix. Gently fold in the apples, just enough to be mostly mixed into the dough.
- Pour the dough into the center of the lined baking sheet. Flour clean hands if needed. Start to shape the dough into a rustic 9 inch circle, gently patting the dough to form it into a circle, making sure not to overwork the delicate dough.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the round circle into 8 triangular pieces. Carefully separate the triangular pieces using the knife or a spatula underneath the bottom of the scone, just enough to make some space between each scone (because they will expand).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the scones are slightly puffed up, lightly golden brown and done in the center.
- Let the scones cool completely on the baking sheet placed on a cooling rack.
- To make the glaze, add the apricot jam and maple syrup to a small saucepan and heat on low just until the apricot jam has melted, then immediately remove from heat. Use a pastry brush to glaze the apricot-maple mixture over the scones.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

GLUTEN AND LACTOSE-FREE CINNAMON APPLE DROP SCONES
For those of us who love fresh baked, warm scones, but cannot have regular wheat and dairy-laden ones. You can alter this recipe to suit your tastes by changing the type of spices and fruit that you add. (BTW: Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Biscuit Mix already contains salt and baking powder so you do not need to add any more.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Bob's Red Mill Biscuit Mix, Brown Sugar, and the Cinnamon.
- Add the Shortening and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in Almond Milk, Egg, and Chopped Apple. Do not over-mix.
- Drop by large spoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Makes 8 drop scones.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon-Sugar Topping over scones.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes or until tops are very lightly browned.
- Serve warm with jam.
Tips:
- Use gluten-free and lactose-free ingredients to ensure the scones are suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
- If you do not have self-raising gluten-free flour, you can make your own by adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of gluten-free plain flour.
- You can use any type of milk or yogurt that is lactose-free, such as almond milk, oat milk, or coconut yogurt.
- Do not overmix the scone dough, as this will make the scones tough.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more gluten-free flour.
- You can use any type of apple for this recipe, but a firm apple such as a Granny Smith or Honeycrisp will hold its shape better during baking.
- Be careful not to overcook the scones, as they can dry out quickly.
Conclusion:
These gluten-free and lactose-free cinnamon apple drop scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people with dietary restrictions. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The scones are soft and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy exterior and a sweet cinnamon apple filling. They are also a good source of fiber and antioxidants.
