These Apple Cinnamon Scones are filled with chopped apple, spices, and are incredibly soft and tender. The perfect treat for breakfast or brunch!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"These<\/p>\n

A long time ago, I use to think scones were just dry and bland. It wasn’t until I learned how to make my own scones that I realized they’re quite the opposite. Scones should be soft, tender, flaky, and leave you going back for seconds or even thirds.<\/p>\n

I’ve been using this recipe for a while now and it’s a perfect base for whatever you want to mix in. These scones are filled with freshly chopped apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg. They’re like fall wrapped up into the perfect scone. To say I’m in love with these Apple Cinnamon Scones would probably be an understatement.<\/p>\n

One great thing about this recipe is that all of your ingredients need to be cold. There’s no need to wait for your butter or other ingredients to come to room temperature. You can just grab everything you need, mix up the dough, pop it into the oven, and be enjoying these scones in no time!<\/p>\n

To make these scones you’ll start with some all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of baking powder and I promise it’s not an error. To get a good rise in your scones, you need enough baking powder to make them nice and tall.<\/p>\n

Remember when I also mentioned that your ingredients should be cold for these scones? You want small pieces of cold butter in your dough as you’re placing it into the oven. Once you place the scones in the oven, the butter will melt, leaving little steam pockets and creating a nice flaky, tender texture on the inside. Those steam pockets also help to make the scones taller too.<\/p>\n

It’s best for your heavy whipping cream and egg to be cold as well to ensure that the butter stays cold as it’s going into the oven. Always remember, cold ingredients are best in recipes like scones and biscuits.<\/p>\n

Once the scones are baked you can leave them plain or top them with a simple glaze. I personally love to just use a mixture of powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk on these Apple Cinnamon Scones. You could also add some cinnamon to the glaze for a little extra flavor as well.<\/p>\n
