Apple Scones Recipe Steps
Here are some pictures showing you how I made this recipe.
Preheat oven to 400. Add both types of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix well.
Use a pastry blender to cut butter into coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, combine half and half, egg and vanilla and whisk well.
Add to dry mixture and mix until just combined.
Fold in apples.
Place dough onto a floured surface and knead ten times. The dough may be a little sticky, so add additional flour to knead.
Shape into a 5" circle about ½" thick. Cut into four triangles and place onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Cool until warm, and drizzle with caramel topping and sea salt.
