Instructions
For the Glazed Apples
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
2 Tablespoons Butter
Once melted add the apples and stir to combine.
2 Large Granny Smith Apples
Place a lid over the skillet and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until dry.
Remove from heat, sprinkle both white and brown sugar over the top and toss until evenly coated.
1 Tablespoon White Sugar,
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
Cool.
For the Scones
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
2 Cups Self Rising Flour,
1 Tablespoon Sugar,
1/2 teaspoon Salt,
1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg,
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
Whisk to combine and sprinkle with butter.
5 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Cut the butter in using a pastry cutter or two knives.
Alternatively you can use a food processor, pulsing to cut in the butter.
Stop when the butter is throughout the flour like little peas, some pieces bigger and some smaller.
Toss the apples into the mixture and stir to evenly combine.
Glazed Apples
Using a rubber spatula, stir in the heavy cream until the dough starts to form a ball.
1 Cup Cream
Dump everything on a clean counter top and knead until the dough comes together.
Coarse Sugar
Place in a bowl, cover tightly with saran wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 425
Remove the scone dough and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Form the dough into a thick, flat disk and cut into wedges, about 8.
Separate each wedge and brush with a little heavy cream, sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake for 12-14 minutes or until dry and golden.
1 Cup Cream
For the Glaze
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
2 Tablespoons Butter
Once it begins to melt start whisking until the butter begins to foam. The butter should then change color to turn amber.
Remove from the heat and quickly whisk in the heavy cream and powdered sugar.
2 Cups Powdered Sugar,
1/8 Cup Heavy Cream
Drizzle over hot scones and enjoy!
Notes
scones will keep 1-2 days at room temperature
