APPLE-WALNUT DROP SCONES
There are many reasons an apple a day may keep the doctor away. Among popular fruits, apples rank second (after cranberries) in antioxidant power, according to the nutritionist Jonny Bowden. They are extremely high in phenolic compounds (polyphenols), particularly quercetin, and if the apple is red, anthocyanins. These phytochemicals carry many health benefits, both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Apples have been linked to lower rates of heart disease in several studies. The phytonutrients in apples are concentrated in and right under the skin. So whenever it's possible when you're cooking with apples, it's best not to peel them. Seek out organic apples if possible, as the skin is also where you'll find most of the pesticide residue, and conventionally farmed apples are on the Environmental Working Group's list of the most contaminated produce.Scones are easy to make and lend themselves to whole-grain flours. These are particularly moist because of the grated apples.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Dump anything remaining in the sifter into the bowl with the sifted ingredients. Place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle. Add the walnut oil, butter and lemon zest and mix at medium speed or pulse in the food processor until the mixture is crumbly.
- Combine the buttermilk and vanilla, and with the machine running, add the liquid to the flour mixture. Mix just until the ingredients come together. Stop the machine and add the apple and walnuts, then mix or pulse to combine.
- Drop by heaped tablespoons onto the baking sheet and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, or serve warm.

WHOLE WHEAT APPLE PECAN SCONES
As I was playing around with the mixture for these not-too-sweet scones I learned that if I used as much liquid (in the form of buttermilk or yogurt) as I usually do in my scones, they wouldn't be flaky. That is because the apple provides plenty of liquid. You just need to add enough buttermilk or yogurt to bring the dough together. Otherwise you will have drop biscuits and they will have a consistency more akin to a soft cookie than to a biscuit or scone. Juicy apples like Braeburn, Crispin and Empire work well for these scones.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss grated apple with lemon or lime juice and zest in a bowl. Sift together flours, salt, baking powder and baking soda, and stir in oats and sugar. Place in a large bowl or in the bowl of standing mixer fitted with the paddle.
- Add butter and mix in with your hands, rubbing the flour and butter briskly between your fingers; or beat on low speed until butter is distributed throughout the flour and the mixture has a crumbly consistency.
- Add apple with liquid to the large bowl. Add pecans and stir or mix at medium speed until incorporated. Add just enough yogurt or buttermilk to allow dough to come together.
- Scrape out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape into a rectangle, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 6 squares, then cut squares in half on the diagonal to form 12 triangular pieces. Or use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds. Place on baking sheet. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a rack.
