Caramel Apple Scones
Sweet and comforting with the best fall flavor, these caramel apple scones combine tender scone dough with tart apples and rich buttery caramel for the best treat! Perfect for breakfast, brunch or enjoy them with a cup of coffee for a snack.
Ingredients
- 3⅔ cups All purpose flour
- 2½ tablespoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ⅓ cup Butter - softened
- ¼ cup Brown sugar - packed
- 2 large Eggs
- ½ cup Milk - 2% fat
- ¼ cup Caramel Sauce + ¼ cup for drizzling
- 1 cup Granny Smith apples - peeled and chopped
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 425F (218C). Lightly grease or line with parchment paper two baking sheets.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix in the sugar and set aside.
- In a medium bowl add the milk and eggs and beat together. Place about 2 tablespoons of the mix aside for glazing the scones later. Add ¼ cup of the caramel to the milk mixture and combine it all together.
- Add the milk mix into the dry ingredients, then add the chopped apples and mix everything together until you have a soft dough. Don't over mix. The dough should be on the wet side.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured flat surface and flatten it out with your hands to ½-¾ inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out your scones. Push the remaining dough together, re-roll and cut out more scones until you're done.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheets and brush the tops with the reserved milk mixture. Bake approximately 10-15 minutes or until risen and golden. Transfer the scones to a wire rack and let them cool. Top with the extra caramel before serving and enjoy!
Notes
You can freeze the scones before baking or freeze after baking. Before baking, after cutting your scones into desired shape, flash freeze and store in a freeze safe bag. When ready to enjoy, bake from frozen or thaw overnight then bake.
To freeze after baking, freeze cooled scones without the glaze. Store in a freezer safe bag for a few months. Thaw for a few hours on the counter or in the fridge overnight. Reheat in the microwave.
