Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1/3 cup of sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup of cold butter or margarine
  • 1 cup of shredded apple
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling if desired
  • 1 tablespoon Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. Combine all of your dry ingredients, and mix them together well. If you like spicier scones, add another 1/2 tsp cinnamon, or better yet, some nutmeg or cloves.
  • Cut in the 1/4 cup or margarine or butter.
  • Shred your apple. Add the shredded apple, then the milk and mix until they form a soft dough. Add a bit of flour if the dough is too sticky, it really depends on how moist your shredded apple is.
  • Knead a few times, working some extra flour into it until it is barely sticky. Divide into two balls of dough.
  • Flatten until they are two circles that are about 6 inches in diameter. If you like, scour lines on the top to divide them into 6 pieces.
  • Place them on a well greased baking sheet and sprinkle them with brown sugar and/or cinnamon.
  • Pop into the over and bake for 15- 20 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove and cool.
  • When the scones are cooled,, whisk together the glaze ingredients until they are smooth. Drizzle over the scones then let harden completely.
