I love scones because the batter doesn’t contain very much sugar, which means if you add white chocolate chips, a cinnamon sugar coating, and butterscotch drizzle on top, you won’t feel so bad! And there you have it. These delicious apple cinnamon scones have ground up apple chips inside, white chocolate chips throughout, a cinnamon sugar coating, and the perfect topping, butterscotch drizzle. The apple chips give off this subtle apple flavor, making everything else blend together so nicely. I’m sipping on my morning cup of coffee and enjoying one as I write this. Perfect morning. This recipe yields 8, so if you’re just cooking for yourself, wrap some up and give to your friends, neighbors, family, whoever! They’ll love the gesture!
- 2 cups all purpose flour (plus more for kneading)
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 oz apple chips
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 oz cold butter (cut into 8 pieces)
- 1 egg yolk
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for coating)
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips (for drizzle)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl mix flour, oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a food processor or Vitamix, blend your apple chips so you get a fine crumb. Add to the flour mixture.
- Place all your dry ingredients back into the food processor or Vitamix and add butter. Pulse about 6 times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can also do this by hand with a pastry blender or two knives.
- Pour your mixture back into the large bowl and add white chocolate chips.
- In a small bowl whisk your egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour over dry mixture and mix until a dough forms. If your dough is too wet to work with add more flour.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead to hold dough together if necessary. Form a disk 8 inches in diameter. Cut into 8 pieces.
- Place scones on parchment lined tray.
- Make your coating by mixing the cinnamon and sugar together. Sprinkle over each scone.
- Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from over and let cool on a rack.
- When scones are completely cool, melt your butterscotch chips and drizzle over scones.
- Store in an airtight container.
