Instructions
Caramel Apple Scones
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a sheet pan by lining with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Grate in 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) and crumble together with flour mixture.
- Add cream and whisked egg, blend until dough forms together.
Apple Mixture
- In a small pan over medium heat, heat apples in butter, dark brown sugar and cinnamon for about three minutes.
- Fold apple mixture into dough mixture until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix. You may need to add a little more flour if dough is too wet.
- Form dough on a floured survey into a semi flat circle about the size of a dinner plate. Cut into 8 equal pie shapes. Place on parchment lined sheet pan. Bake for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Make caramel sauce while scones bake.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
Caramel Sauce
- Melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add dark brown sugar and stir until melted with butter. Add cream and vanilla. Continue to stir over medium heat until thickened, about 7-8 minutes. After drizzling scones, remaining caramel can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week.
