Ingredients

Scale

Scone Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 cup Plant-Based Butter (cold)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Fresh Apples, chopped into small pieces
  • 3/4 cup Plant-Based Milk

Cinnamon Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Plant-Based Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Natural Gelling Agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (natural) to distribute the leavening and spices evenly, ensuring consistent texture and flavor in your scones.
  2. Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Using cold plant-based butter, cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, creating the flaky layers typical of scones.
  3. Add the Apples and Sugar: Gently fold in the chopped fresh apples and granulated sugar, making sure the fruit pieces are coated in the flour mixture to prevent sinking during baking.
  4. Mix in the Plant-Based Milk: Pour in the plant-based milk and stir just until the dough comes together, avoiding overmixing to keep the scones tender and fluffy.
  5. Form and Cut the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Shape into a round disk and cut into wedges, placing them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet evenly.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake the scones in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and scones are cooked through.
  7. Prepare and Drizzle the Cinnamon Glaze: While the scones cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, plant-based milk, ground cinnamon (natural), apple cider vinegar, and natural gelling agent to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle generously over warm scones for a glossy finish.

Notes

  • Use cold plant-based butter to achieve flaky layers and tender crumb.
  • Do not overmix the dough; stir just until combined to avoid toughness.
  • Fresh, crisp apples provide the best texture and juicy bites.
  • If your kitchen is warm, refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes to make shaping easier.
  • Drizzle the cinnamon glaze on scones that have cooled for about 5 minutes for the best glossy finish.
