Apple Cinnamon Scones

Apple Cinnamon Scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack option that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These scones are made with fresh apples and warm cinnamon, creating a perfect balance of flavors.

To make 8 servings of Apple Cinnamon Scones, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped apples
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped apples.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut it into 8 wedges. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once the scones are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These Apple Cinnamon Scones are best enjoyed warm with a cup of coffee or tea.
