Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup diced apples
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp milk, for brushing
• 1 Tbsp sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add the diced apples and ground cinnamon. Stir until the apples are well coated and distributed throughout the mixture.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
6. Gradually pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough just begins to come together.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently, just enough to form a cohesive dough.
8. Shape the dough into a circle about 8 inches in diameter and cut into 8 equal wedges.
9. Arrange the wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
10. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and evenly sprinkle with sugar.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.
12. Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
13. Serve the scones warm or at room temperature.
