Apple Cinnamon Oat Scones Recipes

APPLE AND OAT SCONES WITH CINNAMON AND NUTMEG

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or rub in with your fingers. (The largest pieces should be the size of small peas.) With your fingertips, flatten butter pieces into small disks. Add apples and buttermilk, stirring until dough just comes together.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat dough into a 6-by-8-inch rectangle, and cut into twelve 2-by-2-inch squares with a floured knife. Place about 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush tops with buttermilk, and sprinkle with raw turbinado sugar and oats. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool on sheets for 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

APPLE CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C), with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat the cubes with flour. Cut the butter into the flour by rubbing it between your forefingers and thumbs until the butter pieces are between the size of peas and walnut halves. Add the chopped apples and toss gently to combine.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cream. Toss the mixture with your fingers to combine, then knead gently to ensure everything is evenly moistened.
• Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets (I do this by hand because I like them to look craggy, but you can use a No. 16 (1/4-cup scoop)), leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between them. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
• Bake the scones, switching the sheets from front to back and top to bottom at the halfway mark, for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops and edges are golden brown. The scones can be served warm or at room temperature.

• Drop into four mounds on parhment paper lined or greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, until lightly browned.

APPLE OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°; lightly butter a 10-inch diameter circle in the center of a baking sheet.
• In a bowl, stir the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
• Cut the butter into ½ inch cubes and distribute them over the flour mixture.
• With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl, stir the egg, milk, molasses, and vanilla together.
• Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine; the dough will be sticky.
• Stir in the apple and dates until evenly distributed.
• Spread the dough into an 8-inch diameter circle in the center of the prepared baking sheet.
• With a serrated knife, cut into 8 wedges; bake 22-27 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
• Remove the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes.
• Using a spatula, transfer the scones to the wire rack to cool.
• Recut into wedges, if necessary; serve warm.
