So the last few weeks I've been on a hunt. A scone hunt.
Because I decided that the one thing better than a warm buttery scone is warm buttery scone chocked full of fresh cut apples and cinnamon chips
Apple Cinnamon Scones
Adapted from: allrecipes
Makes 8
1 c. flour
1 c. whole wheat pastry flour
1/3 c. + 2 tsp sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 c. butter, cold
1/2 c. vanilla yogurt
1 egg
2/3 c. cinnamon chips
1 granny smith apple, peeled and diced
Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl combine flour, pastry flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut the butter into tablespoons (or smaller) and toss in the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, 2 knives, or your hands, incorporate the butter until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in the cinnamon chips and the diced apples.
In a bowl mix together the yogurt and egg with a whisk. Slowly add the yogurt mixture and mix together just until all ingredients are combined (be careful not to over-mix.)
On a floured surface shape the dough into a circle about 3/4 of an inch thick. Sprinkle with 2 tsp of sugar and very lightly press the sugar onto the top of the dough. Next using a sharp knife cut the dough (as if you were cutting a pizza) into 8 triangles and space on the cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm.
