I had a craving this morning. A craving for sweet, fresh baked breakfast yumminess.
I was going to bake up some baked oatmeal with berries. As I was searching for the recipe, however I happened across my apple scone recipe and remembered I had a few apples just hanging out in the fridge.
So I decided to make apple scones. That sounded delicious along with my coffee!!
This is the recipe from allrecipes.com. Although I tweaked in a bit and was thrilled with the result:)
Apple Scones
2 cups flour
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, chilled
1 apple-cored, peeled, and shredded
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter or margarine until crumbly. Add shredded apple and milk. Stir to form a soft dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 8-10 times. Pat into two 6 inch circles. Place on greased baking sheet. brush tops with milk, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Score each into 6 pie shaped wedges.
Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, or until browned and risen. Serve warm with butter.
I added two spoonfuls of brown sugar. I also added a couple good shakes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to the dry ingredients.
I added a little vanilla and an extra splash of milk.
My apple was small, so I added an extra one.
I didn't measure the milk, cinnamon, and sugar for topping. I just spooned some milk on top and srinkled a good amount of cinnamon and sugar.
Mmmm, it was delicous! So moist and yummy! I didn't think the kids would like them, but they all ate two, including my picky niece!!
And it paired great with my coffee:) It was an excellent start to the day!!
