Apple Cinnamon Scones
These delicious fresh Apple Cinnamon Scones with sweet vanilla glaze are super easy to make! Thick and buttery, with soft, flaky centers, these apple scones make for a great breakfast treat or snack. Using tart apples to balance the sweetness of the glaze makes the perfect combination.
To start, whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Then cut in the cold butter. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Next, pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and gently mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in the apples. Now, shape the dough into a 1-inch thick disc and cut it into 8 equal wedges. Briefly freeze the scones while the oven heats. Finally, bake the apple scones for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly golden brown. As the scones cool, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. And now we glaze! Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the scones, and enjoy!
