Scones are a great way to start off the day or warm up the house mid-afternoon with the comforting smell of cinnamon. I had one apple left and decided to make these scones with it.
Cinnamon Apple Scones
2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 apple – I shredded it
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup apple sauce
1 large egg
Cinnamon and sugar topping
Mix all the dry ingredients together. Using a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until the dough turns into coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, mix together apple sauce and the egg. Add into the dry ingredients and stir until it's completely combined. Turn out on to a floured surface. Pat into a circle that is approximately 1/2 - 3/4" thick. Cut into 8 slices and put onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are spread out since the scores will spread slightly. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top. Bake for 15 minutes at 400°. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.

Cinnamon Sugar

I always keep an old salt shaker full of this on hand for lots of occasions.
