Savor the flavors of fall with our innovative Apple Cinnamon Scones recipe, featuring Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix for a delightful twist. These scones blend the classic comfort of tender, buttery goodness with chunks of fresh apple and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cozy afternoon snack, each bite brings the essence of autumn into your kitchen. This creative use of pancake mix not only simplifies the baking process but also adds a unique, delicious flair to your scones.
STEP 1
Heat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.
STEP 2
In a large bowl, combine Buttermilk Pancake Mix, flour, sugar and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender, fork or stand mixer, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can use a food processor to mix dry ingredients and then pulse in butter.
STEP 3
Stir in diced apples. Whisk egg and heavy cream together and add to mixture. Stir into dry mixture until dough forms and is well combined. Dough will be soft, but not sticky, and easy to work with.
STEP 4
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a slightly domed 6-inch disc. Cut each disc into 6 wedges and place 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with heavy cream.
STEP 5
Bake for 14-16 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.
STEP 6
For Glaze: Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Add more milk (or cream) if necessary for desired consistency. Drizzle over scones and let set before serving.
