Delightfully flaky and tender Apple Maple Scones drizzled with a sweet maple glaze. Perfect for cozy fall brunches or a comforting autumn breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peeled, chopped green apples (like Granny Smith)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in the chopped apples. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, then add to the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, shape into a 1-inch thick circle, and cut into 8 triangles. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the maple glaze over the warm scones and serve.

Notes

  • Use cold butter to ensure flaky scones.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the texture tender.
  • Adjust glaze thickness with more or less milk.
  • Best served warm for maximum coziness.
