Apple Spice Scones Recipe

Doesn't an Apple Spice Scone sound wonderful right now? Whether you're reading this in the morning over your coffee or in the afternoon with a cup of tea, any time is a great time for a scone!

We can find fresh apples all year long. While I was working on this recipe, I thought of making an apple pie, apple hand pies, apple muffins, even a mulled cider or apple cocktail.

The possibilities are endless when you're cooking with apples. 

I've been in the mood for scones lately, and the apples were the perfect fruit for these Apple Spice Scones!

What You Need for Apple Spice Scones

Gather your ingredients. You will need all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, cinnamon, butter, apples, eggs, milk, and coarse sugar for sprinkling on top. Have everything? Let's make apple spice scones!

How to Make Scones

Makes 12

Preheat oven to 425º

Whisk together first seven ingredients.

Cut butter into the flour. The mixture should be crumb-like.

In another bowl, whisk together apple pieces, eggs, and milk.

Add wet and dry ingredients until they hold together.

The mixture may seem somewhat dry, but keep stirring until combined.

Sprinkle flour on the baking sheet.

Place dough on the pan and divide into 2 5-inch rounds about 3/4 inch thick.

Run a large knife under cold water and then cut each round into 6 pieces.

Separate pieces so you have about a half-inch between scones.

Sprinkle the apple spice scones with coarse sugar.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve warm or room temperature.

What Other Fruits Can I Use in Scones?

You could use any kind of berries. I used raspberries and blueberries in these Mixed Berry Scones and they were a huge hit. 

These Strawberry Scones are a little different in that they are rolled scones, and more of a dessert than a breakfast treat. Think of strawberry shortcake meets scones. 

Irish Soda Bread Scones are not as sweet as most scones and have soft, chewy raisins inside.

These pumpkin and spiced apple Cinnabon rolls are a wonderful breakfast treat, too.

How Long Do Scones Keep?

Store leftover scones in an airtight plastic bag or container. You can also freeze the scones. To keep them from getting freezer burn, wrap each scone in wax paper and freeze in a baggie.
