Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 Tablespoons butter ½ stick
- 2 eggs divided
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped apples about 1 apple
- 1/3 cup cinnamon chips optional
- coarse sugar for decorating, optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a fork, pastry tool or food processor, until butter pieces are tiny and flour coated. The mixture should look a little sandy.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then remove 2-3 teaspoons to a separate bowl. Set the smaller amount aside (for an egg wash before baking).
- Stir the brown sugar into the larger quantity of beaten egg. Pour into the dry mix and pulse or stir until just moistened.
- Gently mix in the chopped apple and cinnamon chips if using, then dump onto a floured surface to knead a couple times. If the mixture is too dry to hold together, add a little milk or water, a teaspoon at a time. If it's too wet to hold together, add some additional flour.
- Pat mixture into an approximately 6 x 6 inch square. Cut the square into four 3 x 3 inch pieces, then cut each of those on a diagonal to make a total of 8 triangular scones.
- Transfer scones to a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray or lined with parchment.
- Beat a teaspoon of water into the reserved egg to make an egg wash. Brush each scone with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake at 400 F for 15 – 20 minutes until just golden and an inserted toothpick comes out dry. Serve warm or cold.
Notes
- Calorie count is without cinnamon chips or glaze.
- If you'd like a drizzle you can melt 2 Tablespoons butter, then stir in 2 Tablespoons liquid (water, milk, or apple cider), 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 cup powdered sugar. Double this amount if you want to cover the scone tops.
