These grain-free almond flour apple scones are much easier to make than traditional scones, and they are jam packed with apple cinnamon flavor! Enjoy them warm with a little butter on top!

Ingredients
- 2 eggs *
- ⅓ cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil**
- ⅔ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract optional
- 5 cups almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg optional
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 large honeycrisp apple peeled and chopped
Optional Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp water or lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. If you don’t have parchment paper, you can spray the sheet with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the eggs, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if adding) in a large bowl until well-combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and sea salt until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir well until a thick and sticky dough forms. Stir in the chopped apple chunks.
- Transfer the scone dough to a lightly floured surface such as a cutting board and shape it into a large disc shape. Note that the dough will be very sticky - this is normal! I promise, it will all work out.
- Use a very sharp knife to cut the dough disc into 8 equal sized triangles. I cut the disc down the center vertically, then cut it again down the center horizontally, then rotate the angle for the final two cuts. Use a spatula to lift up one of the dough triangles and poke in any apples that are trying to fall out of the dough. You can also shape the dough to have rounded corners (which is what I do). Place the scone dough on the prepared baking sheet, and repeat for the remaining triangles of dough. Leave plenty of room between each dough triangle to allow the dough to expand during baking.
- Bake scones on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown around the edges.
- Allow the scones to cool at least 15 minutes before enjoying them. Do note that moving the scones while they are still warm can cause them to break. They will be completely set up once they have completely cooled and will then hold together magically.
Make the Optional Glaze:
- For a lovely glaze, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl or a measuring cup until creamy.
- Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the scones. While this step isn’t mandatory, it adds a lovely element to the scones.
Notes
- *For a vegan option, use 2 flax eggs instead of regular eggs. Mix 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed in a bowl with 6 tablespoons of water and allow it to sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the consistency of beaten eggs.
