APPLE CINNAMON SCONES



Apple Cinnamon Scones image

I landed my first job in a bakery when I was sixteen. I would come in after school and make huge batches of scone mix to help the morning baker. After I graduated from high school, I became the principal baker --and spent the summer waking up at 2 a.m. Even though I had to go to bed at 7 p.m., I felt like the coolest kid in town. The bakery offered a bunch of different flavors of scones, and I could never decide on a favorite.

Time 45m

Yield About 18 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

361 grams (3 cups) all-purpose flour
132 grams (2/3 cup) granulated sugar
12 grams (1 tablespoon) baking powder
2 grams (1 teaspoon) ground cinnamon
1 gram (1/4 teaspoon) fine sea salt
142 grams (5 ounces) (10 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
340 to 425 grams (2 to 2 1/2 cups) chopped apples, peeled if desired
242 grams (1 cup) heavy cream
Egg wash: 57 grams (1 large) egg, beaten with 15 grams (1 tablespoon) water and a small pinch of fine sea salt
Turbinado or coarse sugar, for sprinkling

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.

***Updated 4/8/08 - This recipe has been adjusted regarding bake times and temperature. That seemed to correct the problems stated by the reviewer (based on her baking these again.) The reviewer did suggest to just use a powdered sugar/milk glaze over the scones also. Thank you to "Chef #532663" for all her help in figuring out what when wrong the first time.**** From Pillsbury recipe clip-out. I made these years ago and unfortunately cannot remember the results...one of the few recipes I did not write down a comment outside of the date I made them.

Apple and Oat Scones with Cinnamon and Nutmeg image

These scones are light yet hearty. Fresh apple keeps them moist, buttermilk contributes tenderness, and oats add a pleasantly toothsome texture.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 1/3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, plus more for topping
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups diced Granny Smith apple (2 apples cut into generous 1/4-inch cubes)

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.

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.

EASY APPLE CINNAMON WALNUT SCONES



Easy Apple Cinnamon Walnut Scones image

I made these up this morning when we were looking for a different flavour of scone for breakfast. I forgot to put sugar in the scones, so I sprinkled the top with Demmara Sugar - and I like them better that way! It adds a nice crunch on top. These are not your typical buttery scone - these are more of a hearty, healthy, and hold you till lunch kind of scone! If you don't have cinnamon chips, add a tbsp or two of brown sugar and increase the cinnamon to 1 tsp to compensate.

Yield Makes 6 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups blanched almond flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons butter, as cold as possible (preferably frozen), cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 small Granny Smith or Fuji apple, peeled, cored, and cut into thin tiles

Steps:

  • DO THIS:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the pieces of cold butter into the dry ingredients until a crumbly mixture is produced. Then, mix the cinnamon into the almond flour mixture.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk together the eggs, apple cider vinegar, and honey.
  • 4. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, and pour the egg mixture into it.
  • 5. Gently mix with a spatula until a wet, chunky dough forms, and then throw in the apple. Combine the ingredients with your hands, and form a ball of dough.
  • 6. On a sheet of parchment paper or a nonstick surface, gently flatten the ball with your hand. The round of dough should be about 3/4 inch thick. Using a pastry cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into 6 equal-sized wedges, and arrange them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • 7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. The scones are ready when they're golden brown, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Transfer the scones onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
  • This isn't just another subpar substitute for the real thing. It's BETTER than scones made with wheat flour!
  • BONUS RECIPE!
  • In the mood for Dark Chocolate Cherry Scones instead? Follow the same recipe, but leave out the cinnamon and apple. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in step 3. Then, in step 5, add 3 ounces of super dark chocolate, cut into bite-size chunks, and 1/4 cup of dried cherries.

APPLE CINNAMON SCONES



Apple Cinnamon Scones image

These are quick and easy to make and taste absolutely delicious, great toasted or fresh out of the oven, perfect for breakfast. *I have made these and posted the recipe only afterward, they turned out well though it is true that the dough is fairly sticky. Applesauce and buttermilk are what make this recipe moist, so perhaps in substituting them lies the problem, as for flavour. It could be that my measurements need editing, in which case I will try the recipe again and correct it if necessary.

FRESH APPLE CINNAMON SCONES image

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 3/4 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Apple Pie Spice or ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) cold butter
3/4 cup chopped fresh apple, in 1/2" pieces (about half a medium apple); leave the skin on, if you like
3/4 cup cinnamon chips
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened preferred
Topping
3 tablespoons coarse white sparkling sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and spice. 2) Work in the butter just until the mixture is unevenly crumbly; it's OK for some larger chunks of butter to remain unincorporated. 3) Stir in the chopped apple and cinnamon chips. 4) In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and applesauce. 5) Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened and holds together. 6) Line a baking sheet with parchment; if you don't have parchment, just use it without greasing it. Sprinkle a bit of flour atop the parchment or pan. 7) Scrape the dough onto the floured parchment or pan, and divide it in half. Gently pat and round each half into a 5" to 5 1/2" circle about 3/4" thick. 8) To make the topping: Stir together the coarse sugar and cinnamon. Brush each circle with milk, and sprinkle with the topping. 9) Using a knife or bench knife that you've run under cold water, slice each circle into 6 wedges. 10) Carefully pull the wedges away from the center to separate them just a bit; there should be about 1/2" space between them, at their outer edges. 11) For best texture and highest rise, place the pan of scones in the freezer for 30 minutes, uncovered. While the scones are chilling, preheat the oven to 425°F. 12) Bake the scones for 18 to 22 minutes, or until they're golden brown. When you pull one away from the others, it should look baked all the say through; the edge shouldn't look wet or unbaked. 13) Remove the scones from the oven, and cool briefly on the pan. Serve warm. When they're completely cool, wrap in plastic and store at room temperature for up to several days.

FRESH APPLE CINNAMON SCONES



Fresh Apple Cinnamon Scones image

"What are you making? It smells like a fall day..." That was the reaction the first time we baked these moist, flavorful scones. Fresh diced apple and cinnamon chips complement each other beautifully, flavor-wise; and a topping of crunchy, cinnamon-enhanced coarse sugar is the perfect foil to the scones' tender texture.

Dry Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cut into cubes)
  • 1 cup diced apples (peeled and cored)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (cold)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Before beginning to make apple cinnamon scones, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  1. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon) and whisk them together until well mixed.
  2. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Mix until the butter resembles small pebbles.
  3. Next, add the diced apples to the bowl and stir them into the flour mixture until they are well coated with flour.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (buttermilk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract).
  5. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir until a dough forms.
  6. If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little buttermilk.
  7. Once the dough has formed, turn it out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times. Do not overwork the dough or it will become tough.
  8. Shape the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 triangles.
  9. Place the triangles onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
  10. Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Scones are a traditional British baked good which are often enjoyed with a hot cup of tea. There are many variations of scones, including those made with apple and cinnamon. In this article, we will discuss some valuable tips for making delicious apple cinnamon scones.

Tip 1: Use Cold Ingredients

One of the most important tips when making scones is to use cold ingredients. This helps to create a flaky texture and prevents the scones from becoming dense and heavy. It is recommended to chill the butter and milk before using them in the recipe. You can even place the mixing bowl and utensils in the refrigerator for a few minutes to ensure everything is cold.

Tip 2: Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients Separately

Another valuable tip is to mix the dry and wet ingredients separately. This ensures that the ingredients are evenly distributed and prevents the formation of lumps in the batter. It's important to mix the dry ingredients first and then add the wet ingredients slowly while stirring. The batter should be smooth and thick, but not runny.

Tip 3: Use the Right Flour

Choosing the right flour is important when making scones. All-purpose flour is commonly used, but some bakers prefer to use self-rising flour. Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt, which eliminates the need to add these ingredients separately. However, if you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Tip 4: Add Fresh Apples

When making apple cinnamon scones, it's preferable to use fresh apples instead of canned or pre-cooked apples. Fresh apples add a juicy sweetness to the scones and provide a burst of flavor. It's recommended to use a firm apple variety such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Braeburn, as these hold up well during baking.

Tip 5: Don't Overwork the Dough

One of the most common mistakes when making scones is overworking the dough. This causes the scones to become tough and dry. It's important to mix the ingredients just until a dough forms and then stop. You can use a rubber spatula or your hands to mix the dough, but be careful not to knead it too much.

Tip 6: Use a Pastry Cutter

Using a pastry cutter is a handy tool when making scones. It helps to cut the butter into small pieces and mix it evenly with the flour. You can also use a fork or your fingers to cut in the butter, but a pastry cutter provides the best results. If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use a food processor or a cheese grater.

Tip 7: Add Cinnamon and Sugar

Cinnamon and sugar are classic flavors that pair well with apples in scones. It's recommended to add a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar to the dry ingredients before mixing. This ensures that the scones are evenly flavored and have a nice sweetness.

Tip 8: Brush with Egg Wash

Brushing the scones with an egg wash before baking is an important step. It adds a beautiful golden color and helps to seal the edges. To make an egg wash, simply whisk an egg with a small amount of milk or water. Use a pastry brush to apply the egg wash lightly on the surface of the scones.

Tip 9: Cut the Scones Properly

Cutting the scones properly is important to ensure they bake evenly and rise properly. You can use a round cookie cutter or a knife to cut the dough into circles. It's recommended to flour the cutter or knife before cutting to prevent the dough from sticking. You can also make wedges by cutting the dough into triangles.

Tip 10: Serve Warm

Apple cinnamon scones are best served warm with a cup of tea or coffee. They can be enjoyed with butter, jam, or whipped cream. To reheat the scones, place them in a 350°F (177°C) oven for a few minutes until heated through.
Conclusion
Apple cinnamon scones are a delicious treat that can be enjoyed any time of the day. By following these valuable tips, you can make scones that are flaky, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. Remember to use cold ingredients, mix the dry and wet ingredients separately, add fresh apples, don't overwork the dough, use a pastry cutter, add cinnamon and sugar, brush with egg wash, cut the scones properly, and serve warm. Enjoy!
