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.

• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out into a rectangular shape (roughly 9"x13"). Cut the the rectangle into triangles of equal size using a very sharp knife. Transfer onto your sheet pan placing them about an inch apart.
• Mix together the egg and the tbsp of water to create an egg wash. Brush each triangle lightly with the egg wash and sprinkle a generous pinch of turbinado sugar onto the tops of each triangle.
