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.

WHOLE WHEAT APPLE PECAN SCONES



Whole Wheat Apple Pecan Scones image

As I was playing around with the mixture for these not-too-sweet scones I learned that if I used as much liquid (in the form of buttermilk or yogurt) as I usually do in my scones, they wouldn't be flaky. That is because the apple provides plenty of liquid. You just need to add enough buttermilk or yogurt to bring the dough together. Otherwise you will have drop biscuits and they will have a consistency more akin to a soft cookie than to a biscuit or scone. Juicy apples like Braeburn, Crispin and Empire work well for these scones.

Time 30m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 apple, grated (145 grams grated apple)
1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon or lime zest
1 1/4 cups / 160 grams whole wheat flour,
3/4 cup / 90 grams unbleached all-purpose flour (or use all whole wheat flour)
1 tablespoon / 12 grams baking powder
1/2 teaspoon / 2 grams baking soda
1/4 teaspoon / 2 grams salt
1/2 cup / 55 grams rolled oats
2 tablespoons /30 grams raw brown sugar
6 tablespoons / 85 grams unsalted butter
Up to 1/4 cup / 60 grams buttermilk or yogurt
1/2 cup / 60 grams chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss grated apple with lemon or lime juice and zest in a bowl. Sift together flours, salt, baking powder and baking soda, and stir in oats and sugar. Place in a large bowl or in the bowl of standing mixer fitted with the paddle.
  • Add butter and mix in with your hands, rubbing the flour and butter briskly between your fingers; or beat on low speed until butter is distributed throughout the flour and the mixture has a crumbly consistency.
  • Add apple with liquid to the large bowl. Add pecans and stir or mix at medium speed until incorporated. Add just enough yogurt or buttermilk to allow dough to come together.
  • Scrape out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape into a rectangle, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 6 squares, then cut squares in half on the diagonal to form 12 triangular pieces. Or use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds. Place on baking sheet. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a rack.

Tips:

  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the scones to hold their shape and rise properly.
  • Brush the tops of the scones with milk before baking: This will help them to brown.
  • Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm, out of the oven.

Conclusion:

These wholemeal apple cinnamon scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their sweet and cinnamony flavor, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
