Flakey, moist and brimming with fall flavor, these apple scones are the ideal breakfast treat for a chilly autumn morning. Serve with a caramel drizzle over the top as the recipe calls for, or make them your own with a cinnamon-sugar sprinkle that complements the apples baked inside.

Ingredients

whole wheat flour
½ c
all-purpose flour
½ c
brown sugar
2 tbsp
baking powder
1 tsp
salt
¼ tsp
cold butter
3 tbsp
plus 2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
¼ c
egg yolk
room temperature
1 large
vanilla extract
1 tsp
apple
⅝ c
caramel ice cream topping
1 tbsp

Directions

1
First, preheat oven to 400°F. Then, in a small bowl, combine the flours with the brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a butter knife or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, whisk together the cream, egg yolk and vanilla; add this mixture to the dry ingredients until just moistened. Gently stir in the apple. Turn dough onto a well-floured surface and knead 10 times.
2
Pat the dough into a 5-inch circle and cut it into four wedges. Separate wedges and place them on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes and then drizzle with caramel topping.
