Apple Scones with Spiced Glaze Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Combine the buttermilk, applesauce, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.

3. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

4. Combine the flours, baking powder, cinnamon nutmeg, and salt in another large bowl, stirring with a whisk.

5. Cut in chilled butter with a pastry blender, or use 2 knives, until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

6. Fold in diced minced apples.

7. Add buttermilk mixture, stirring just until moist.

8. Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly 4 times with floured hands.

9. Form dough into a 9-inch circle onto the baking sheet, about ¾-inch thick. Using a knife, cut dough into 12 wedges all the way through.

10. Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes until golden, depending on the oven.

11. Place on a cooling rack about 10 minutes.

Spiced Glaze:

1. Mix powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg with 2 tablespoons of milk, adding the rest of the milk to get the consistency to the right thickness. Stir until completely smooth.

2. Place scones on parchment or wax paper and drizzle the glaze over the scones using a spoon then let it sit on the waxed paper to harden.

3. Serve and enjoy.
