Homemade and Eggless Warm Apple Cinnamon Scones made with everyday pantry essentials is a great Fall Dessert or Snack.

Circa 2015 - Scones were on my to-do list for a long time, but somehow refined flour and sugar and butter put me off. I was looking around for a healthy recipe, when I chanced upon Harini’s recipe, which was a winner right from the word “go”.

I made a couple of modifications: altered the flour ratio and also needed a lil more butter and milk and added in a handful of chopped pecans. And voila ! We had a warm nice scone drizzled with some honey. Apple-cinnamon combo is a treat for those who love the spice.  

My family love cinnamon in most baked treats and this is one of the few recipes that mom loved & kept talking about it a lot. We keep teasing her that having born around the Indian Independence , she has a lot of “British” culture left in her...Whatever your reason, this is one healthy scone that you cant afford to miss. 

And if you have a sweet tooth, it’s a pleasing after-dinner snack too . Stays on the countertop for upto a day, and you can freeze- microwave for the next few days.

How else can you use up apples ?

Apples are so versatile, especially when used in season. From homemade applesauce , Apple Raita, Apple Soup,Apple- Ginger Smoothie, Garden fresh Apple Salad, Sugarfree Apple Streusel Muffins to Apple Crumble, Sugarfree Apple-Millet Phirni (Pudding) this is one fruit we love to gorge on.

Tips to make the perfect Apple - Cinnamon Pecan Scone

1. Sift the flours well.
2. If bread flour isn't available, use plain flour through (the liquid proportions will vary)
3. Make sure the apples are sweet (Red lady / Gala varieties work best). Green Apples will not work.
4. Make sure the butter is chilled when you rub it in, else the crust will get soggy
5. As its a moist mixture, work quickly and pat it directly on the lined baking sheet, else it gets messy
6. For a nut-free option, you can skip the pecans or walnuts. If not, either of these nuts work beautifully.
7. THe apples I used were quite sweet, so the sugar was just enough. Adjust sugar accordingly.
8. As always, the bake times vary from oven to oven, Keep an eye after the 20th minute.

How to make Apple Cinnamon Scones:

1. Sift the flours, cinnamon powder, salt, baking powder, sugar powder. 
2. Now added cubed cold butter (I grated cold butter into the flour as that’s easy to mix it in). 
3. Rub the butter in the flour mix till it resembles bread crumbs. 
4. Mix in the chopped apple and chopped pecans . 
5. Whisk milk-yoghurt and leave for 2-3 mins. When the apples sweat a bit, add the milk-yoghurt mixture and make a firm , non sticky dough .
6. Oil your fingers a bit and pat. this dough directly onto a baking sheet. 
7. Cut into wedges (adjust size acc to preferences – Mine made 8 largish sectors). 
8. Brush a little milk and some cinnamon powder and bake in a preheat oven for 22-25 mins, at 180 Deg C.
9. Broil for 2 mins if you need a coloured top (I skipped this coz it naturally browned while baking)
10. Cool for 4-5 mins and serve warm dusting it with cinnamon powder and honey drizzled over.
11. If heating (any) leftovers, microwave it for 10-15 seconds or till just warm.
