This has a terrific aroma and taste.  These scones are perfect for tea.

Apple Scones

all-purpose flour

white sugar

baking powder

baking soda

salt

butter,

apple

milk

cinnamon

Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt into a large bowl.  Cut in butter or margarine until crumbly.  Add shredded apple and milk.  Stir to form a soft dough.


Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead gently 8 to 10 times.  Pat into two 6-inch circles.  Place on greased baking sheet. Brush tops with milk, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.  Score each into 6 pie-shaped wedges.


Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 minutes, or until browned and risen.  Serve warm with butter.


Wow!  These came out great... fluffy and not-too-sweet.  HEADS UP--I needed to add about 1/4 cup less milk, or more flour, to given them a real scone-ish consistency.  So quick and easy. I would recommend putting some spice into the batter, though, to liven them up... a cinnamon/ nutmeg/allspice combo worked great for me!

These scones are wonderful.  I added cinnamon to the dough as many of you have.  Instead of apples I used peaches and it turned out just delicious.  I will definitely make these again.

i was quite pleased with this formula.  the recipe was clear and the end product disappeared before i could even officially serve it.  no more Starbucks scones for this one!

These are pretty good.  If you want them to bake up a little better use 2 cups of self-rising flour vs. all purpose, 1/4 c. of sugar, 1/2 tsp. of baking powder, 1 tsp. of cream of tartar, and 1/4 tsp. of salt.  Freeze the butter and grate it on a cheese grater.  I added 1/4 tsp. of nutgeg and 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon and vanilla.  I always use half and half instead of milk. I used a red delicious apple and added 1/4 c. of raisins.  These came out nice, but next time I might add two apples for more apple taste.

I was hoping for the type of scone you find in coffee shops. The only reason why this fell short is because it has more of a cakey consistency. The apple was mild and it was not too sweet. Good warm with a little butter spread on top. Not hard to make!

I don't know what went wrong.  I used a tasty granny smith apple, and added apple pie spice to the dough, but there was just no flavor.  I won't be making these again.  Bummer.

My first attempt at making scones and they turned out great! I really like this recipe it's easy & they are very moist.

These were ok. The apple taste did not stand out so well and the apple I got was ripe. Perhaps I should have purchased a Granny Smith rather than a Fugi. I would make again as it isquick and good with some butter and jelly.

Amazing scones. This is my first attempt at making them.

I ended up changing the recipe a bit: doubling the sugar, adding 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and 1/2 tsp cinnamon, as Kristiegreen suggested. Also, I added 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup more flour than the recipe call for, as the dough came out really sticky. However, they came out tasting sweet and rich and I'd make them again in a second!
