Apple Cinnamon Scone

This Apple Cinnamon Scone is a softer scone and not too dry. Perfect with the apple and cinnamon flavors, even non-scone fans will appreciate the taste of this breakfast treat. 

I have found it.  I could even say “Eureka! I have found it” because I have been on a hunt for the perfect scone recipe for quite some time.  The perfect scone recipe is this Apple Cinnamon Scone.

Oh, the scone.  I had always wanted to try a scone, but I had heard negative things about it.  I would see it sitting there behind the Panera window surrounded by all the other yummy treats.  I could never take the plunge.

“It’s too dry.”

I would hear the scoffers say.  I then would give in and take the apple or cheese danish sitting next to it.  Who could blame me?

I saw a recipe for a scone a few years ago.  In an effort of fairness (and I was plain curious), I made it.  It was good! I’m sure it was different then the ones at Panera, but mine was soft and not dry.  The original scoffer, who I happen to be married to, still didn’t care for it.  Two little scoffers really didn’t care for it either.  Cora and I liked it.  I didn’t make it often because I didn’t want there to be only two of us eating it.

Then came: The Apple Cinnamon Scone.

When I made this scone, I went the extra mile and made it circle shaped for you.  Well, as close I can manage to make circle shape.

Don’t laugh.  At least the apple cinnamon scone dough is shaped better than this cinnamon roll dough.

Scoffers are no more.  Everyone at the table ate this soft, flavorful, yummy treat.  I’m sure the frosting helped or maybe it was the apple bits.  Could have been the cinnamon.  Either way, it was well received and liked and eaten for breakfast the next day.  Successful scone, I’d say.
