Ingredients
Scones:
-
2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
-
¼ cup brown sugar
-
4 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
6 tablespoons frozen unsalted butter
-
1 cup whole buttermilk
-
1 large egg
-
1 ¼ cups tart apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Glaze:
-
½ cup confectioners' sugar
-
2 tablespoons maple syrup
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
-
Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
-
Quickly shred butter into the flour mixture. Using a fork, gently work butter into the flour until it is the consistency of coarse crumbs.
-
Whisk buttermilk and egg together in a small bowl and pour over the flour mixture. Use a spatula to combine until just moist. Gently fold in chopped apples, using your hands if necessary, until it just comes together. Do not over mix the dough.
-
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, divide in half, and pat each half into a 5-inch circle. Using a bench scraper or knife coated with cooking spray, cut into 6 wedges. Place wedges, not touching, on the prepared cookie sheet
-
Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes.
-
Whisk confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon together until a smooth glaze forms. Drizzle over scones and garnish with grated nutmeg.
Cook's Note:
Handle the dough as little as possible and don't overcook, which will lead to tough scones.
