Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Peel and dice the apple into small cubes. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until slightly caramelized.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
4
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use your fingertips or a pastry blender to rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
5
Let the baked apple cool slightly, then add it to the flour mixture.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, and egg.
7
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
8
On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a circle about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick. Cut into triangles or use a round cutter to make scones.
9
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
10
Let cool for a few minutes, then serve fresh, drizzled with a little honey or sprinkled with nuts.
