Apple and Butterscotch Scones
These Apple and Butterscotch Scones are my all time favourite scone recipe. Made with whole wheat flour and butterscotch chips and topped with coarse sugar.
Servings: 15 scones
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and cubed
- 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
- Pour the flour mixture into your food processor and add in the butter. Process until the mixture looks like coarse meal.
- Pour back into the large bowl. Mix in the apples and butterscotch chips.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, vanilla and applesauce.
- Mix in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until fully combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Scoop the batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
- Bake for around 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheets briefly. Serve warm, or store in an airtight container for later.
