Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup natural brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (natural)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup natural plant-based butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped apples

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Chop the apples into small pieces. In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients: flour, natural brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon (natural), ground nutmeg (natural), and natural gelling agent.
  2. Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, gently incorporate the cold, cubed plant-based butter into the dry mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs with visible pea-sized bits of butter.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients and Apples: In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk and vanilla extract (natural). Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Carefully fold in the chopped apples evenly without overmixing.
  4. Shape the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and turn out the dough. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking tray, spacing them slightly apart for rising.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Keep the plant-based butter cold to achieve a flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
  • Use fresh, crisp apples for the best flavor and texture contrast.
  • Freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg (natural) enhance aroma and warmth.
  • Lightly brush scones with plant-based milk before baking to achieve a golden crust.
