Cooking spray is a spray form of an oil as a lubricant, lecithin as an emulsifier, and a propellant such as food-grade alcohol, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide or propane. Cooking spray is applied to frying pans and other cookware to prevent food from sticking. Traditionally, cooks used butter, shortening, or oils poured or rubbed on...

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals. Reproductive structures...

Vanilla extract is a solution containing the flavor compound vanillin as the primary ingredient. Pure vanilla extract is made by macerating and percolating vanilla pods in a solution of ethyl alcohol and water.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Combine the first five ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Combine the flours, baking powder, cinnamon nutmeg, and salt in another large bowl, stirring with a whisk.

Cut in chilled butter with a pastry blender, or you could use 2 knives, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Fold in diced minced apples.

Add buttermilk mixture, stirring just until moist.

Place dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly four times with floured hands.

Form dough into an 9-inch circle onto baking sheet, about 3/4" thick. Using a knife, cut dough into 12 wedges all the way through.

Bake until golden, about 18-20 minutes, depending on your oven.

Place on a cooling rack about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, to make the glaze: Mix powdered sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg with 2 tbsp of milk, adding 1/2 tbsp more (1 tsp at a time) if necessary to get the consistency to the right thickness. Stir until completely smooth.

Place scones on parchment or wax paper and drizzle the glaze over the scones using a spoon - or- place the glaze in a shallow bowl and dip the top of the scones into the glaze, then let it sit on the waxed paper to harden. Makes 12 scones.

Wow- so great! I didn’t have buttermilk so substituted 2% milk-thinned plain greek yogurt, didn’t have whole-wheat flour so just used all AP, and increased the butter to 4.5 tbs bc I wanted it to be more crumbly. I mistakenly cut into 8 pieces instead of 12 and needed to increase the cook time by 10ish minutes. Turned out so delicious with my coffee. I’m sitting here right now looking forward to when I can have another

I’m not sure how to store these. I put in Tupperware but the frosting got soggy. Should I freeze the extra or maybe not put icing on them until you serve…..?

Made this for guests this weekend . They were very good, but the texture turned out more muffin-like than scone-like.  Scones tend to be a bit more dry and crumbly.  This was very moist.  Delicious…just not exactly the texture I was expecting . And I really couldn’t see the point of kneading.  It’s wet, sticky dough…next time, I would just plop it on parchment paper and flatten into a disk.   No leftovers, however…those disappeared the second morning!  

They did not turn out crunchy as you’d expect from a scone. More of a cake-like consistency. Drizzle was delicious.

Oh YUM!  I messed up and put 1/2 cup of applesauce, so added a little more flour.  It was moist and delicious!

Amazing scones! I love the combination of apple and cinnamon. The glaze was a nice addition, as well.

I absolutely love scones! I made these today and they are awesome! I followed Gina’s recipe exactly with just one little change. I added. 5 tbsp of butter instead of 3, hoping to get a more scone like texture rather than muffin texture like a lot of the comments described they were getting.  It worked great.  I did not have a problem with sticky, batter-like dough.  The dough formed very well. I did have to bake it for about 35 minutes though.  I wanted it to have a crunchiness to it.  I made a half recipe of the icing and used a silicone basting brush to spread it over the cooled scones.  Perfect! Just the right amount for a thin coating of cinnamonly sweet goodness! I am not doing Weight Watchers so I don’t know how the extra butter would affect the points. I do 2 24hr fasts per week and just eat sensibly on non fasting days. I am having a hard time limiting myself to one piece though! I will definitely make this again! Thanks Gina for an awesome treat!

If you love cinnamon like I do these are amazing!

Delicious! Seriously so yummy, and sweet enough to feel like a cheat. I gave 4 stars only because I needed to make some adjustments, but I’m not entirely sure it’s the recipes fault. I may have read it a little wrong. Where it says, stir buttermilk mixture in until just moist, does that mean you may not use all of it? This may have solved my problem. I mixed it all in and wound up with a very sticky dough. I needed to add a few tablespoons of flour to get it firm enough to mold. This may have contributed to the extra cooking time too, I needed nearly 25 min cooking time. But in the end, it was spectacular! Thank you for another winner! 

These are so delicious! 5 stars for sure! I made them gluten free and they turned out beautifully. My flour blend doesn't have xanthan gum so I added 1/2 tsp of that. Otherwise baked as directed. Perfect and totally worth the points. Thanks Gina!
