Caramel Apple Cinnamon Scones
Caramel 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 a combination of fresh apples, cinnamon, and caramel, which gives them a rich and indulgent flavor.
To make these 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 cubed
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh apples
- 1/2 cup caramel chips
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
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. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Next, add the chopped apples and caramel chips to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg, then pour it into the flour mixture. Use a spatula to mix everything together until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together. Flatten the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick, then cut it into 8 wedges. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Once the scones are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These scones are best enjoyed warm, with a drizzle of caramel sauce on top.
Caramel Apple Cinnamon Scones are a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, making them a great breakfast or snack option. The scones have a flaky and buttery texture, with chunks of fresh apples and pockets of gooey caramel throughout. The cinnamon adds a warm and comforting flavor that makes these scones perfect for fall.
