Making Apple Cinnamon Scones
Cold butter is cut into flour mixture, using a pastry blender or two forks, until the butter has been reduced to the size of peas.
Honey, chopped apples, and some other ingredients are then added to the flour and butter mixture.
Form The Scone Dough For Baking
The scone dough is mixed, then shaped into a circle and cut into 8 wedges. Oat topping is then sprinkled on… then the apple cinnamon scones are ready to bake!
Yum. The apple cinnamon scones are out of the oven, cooled, and are now ready to eat! Look at those apple chunks! I really think you’re gonna enjoy them.
Hope you enjoy these scones as much as we did. They taste perfect, and are lovely, especially when served with a cup of hot coffee or tea!

Apple Cinnamon Scones are filled with chopped fresh apples, and topped with a cinnamon/oat topping, in this easy to make, scrumptious breakfast treat!
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup rolled oats
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup COLD butter
- 1 large apple , peeled and chopped (I use Granny Smith...nice and firm!)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons rolled oats
- 1 Tablespoon Turbinado sugar (if you do not have this, substitute granulated sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 teaspoons warm water (or till thin enough for "drizzling" tops of cooked scones
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (You can also use a food processor for this, if desired)
- Cut in the COLD butter with a pastry blender (or pulse until cut into small crumbs in a food processor).
- In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, honey and apple. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients; mix until blended.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough gently until all ingredients are combined. (You might want to lightly flour your hands) Form the dough into an 8-9 inch circle and about 3/4 inch thickness. Slice into 8 wedges. Carefully put the wedges onto prepared baking sheet (keep them in a circle, but leave about 3/4 inch between each wedge).
- In a small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients, EXCEPT FOR THE MILK.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly brush and cover the tops of each scone with the milk.
- Sprinkle each scone with the topping ingredients evenly till all of the mixture has been distributed.
- Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 20 minutes (or until golden brown). Remove scones from oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Mix glaze ingredients and decoratively drizzle glaze over tops of scones when cool. Serve... and enjoy!
