Cinnamon-spiced glazed apple maple bakery scones

These Glazed Apple Maple Bakery Scones taste like a warm n’ cozy fall morning, perfect alongside a hot cup of apple cider! I mix the dough with cinnamon-spiced apples and brush it with a sweet maple glaze. They come out crumbly on the outside, soft on the inside, and take only 45 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• ½ tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1½ cups peeled and diced apples about 2 medium apples or 2½ small apples
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Maple Glaze

• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1 – 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss the diced apples with the cinnamon and roast for 8–10 minutes. Let cool completely.
3. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or two forks until coarse crumbs form.
5. Fold in the cooled apples.
6. Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla. Stir just until a soft dough comes together.
7. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into an 8-inch circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 6 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until lightly golden.
9. Cool for 10 minutes.
10. Whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and enough milk to make a smooth glaze. Add a little more milk, if needed, for a desired consistency. Brush over the scones and let the glaze set before serving.
