Apple Pie Scones

Ingredients
  

Apples
  • 3 tbs butter unsalted
  • 1 honey-crisp apple peeled and diced
  • 1 golden delicious apple peeled and diced
  • 2 tbs dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg
Scones
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg beaten

Method
 

Apples
  1. Melt butter in sauté pan and cook apples until soft. Add dark brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and sauté until all dissolved.
Scones
  1. Preheat oven to 375℉. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix in the sautéd apples.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until ingredients are just moistened. Don’t over mix!
  4. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for about a minute until everything is just about combined. Then separate the dough into two equal parts. (Can just eye it. Doesn’t need to be exactly the same weight.)
  5. Flatten each half into an 8-inch disk and slice each one into 6 triangles. (see photos)
  6. Place triangles about an inch apart from each other on a baking sheet and brush with the egg wash.
  7. Bake scones for 20 minutes or until the tops and bottoms are golden.
