INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 4 teaspoons baking powder
    • 🌰 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🧈 6 tablespoons frozen unsalted butter
    • 🥛 1 cup whole buttermilk
    • 🥚 1 large egg

  • Mix-ins

    • 🍎 1 ¼ cups tart apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • Glaze

    • ½ cup confectioners' sugar
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 🌰 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2

Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.

3

Quickly shred butter into the flour mixture. Using a fork, gently work butter into the flour until it is the consistency of coarse crumbs.

4

Whisk buttermilk and egg together in a small bowl and pour over the flour mixture. Use a spatula to combine until just moist. Gently fold in chopped apples until the dough just comes together. Do not over mix.

5

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, divide in half, and pat each half into a 5-inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Place wedges, not touching, on the prepared cookie sheet.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes.

7

Whisk confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon together until a smooth glaze forms. Drizzle over scones and garnish with grated nutmeg.
