Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups whole wheat flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- ⅔ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cup finely diced granny smith apples
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- dash of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Prepare a baking sheet by place a large sheet on parchment paper on it.
- In a medium saute pan add 1 tablespoon of butter and diced apples. Saute until just tender, about 4 minutes. Add in the maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a dash of salt. Stir to mix everything together.
- Place entire pan in the freezer to cool the apples.
- In the meantime, to a food processor add whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Blend to mix.
- Next add pieces of butter to the blender. Pulse blender until the butter is combined and starts to look like small peas.
- In a small bowl, add almond milk, vanilla extract and an egg. Whisk together and add liquid mixture to the blender. Pulse the blender until the mixture starts to look like a dough and wet and dry ingredients are combined.
- Place dough on a well floured surfaced. Add apple cinnamon mixture to the dough. Using well floured hands, gently fold the apple mixture into the dough.
- Form the dough into a large disc shape. (you may need to keep adding flour if it’s too sticky)
- Cut dough into 8 triangular pieces.
- Add the scones to the prepared baking sheet. Place about 1″ apart from each other.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes. (14 minutes was my sweet spot)
- Remove from oven. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve
