Apple Scones with Cinnamon Cream
Flaky, buttery scones studded with fresh diced apples.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup very cold unsalted butter
- ½ cup diced apple
- Extra cream for brushing optional
- Turbinado sugar for sprinkling optional
For the cream:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered confectioner’s sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat egg and combine with cream.
- Cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in apple, then add the cream mixture and stir until just barely combined. There will be some dry crumbles.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead a few times until dough comes together. Roll or pat dough out into a disk ¾ of an inch thick. Slice circle into 8 even wedges.
- Place scones on an ungreased baking sheet, brush with cream and sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, whisk together remaining cream, powdered sugar and cinnamon until a loose whipped cream forms. Serve with scones. Store any leftover scones in an airtight container and rewarm before serving for that just-baked taste!
