The Best Glazed Apple Cinnamon Scones Recipe
Talk about fall comfort food on a platter! Apples, cinnamon, and warm scones. And the drippy glaze doesn’t hurt either. It wasn’t that long ago that I was one of those people who firmly believed that all scones were dry, boring, and tasteless. Cardboard with calories. These Glazed Mixed Berry Scones changed my mind about scones in general, and I adapted this recipe from that one. These apple cinnamon scones are tender, moist, and buttery, and will make you feel all warm and cozy. The scones contain grated apple, plenty of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. There’s plenty of apple in every bite, providing flavor and bits of chewy texture. As the scones bake, the apples release their juices which also helps to ensure the scones are anything but dry. Just don’t overbake. Now you know what to do with all those apples you picked or bought at the store because they were on sale when your eyes were bigger than your stomach.
