I used a different type of apple than the recipe called for and the scones still turned out great. I think you could use any type of apple you like.

I added some chopped walnuts to the scones for a little extra crunch. They were delicious!

I made these scones gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out great! They were just as light and fluffy as the regular scones.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I love these scones! They're so moist and flavorful. I always make a double batch because they disappear so quickly.
