We are still using up the apples that we have foraged on a couple of occasions and have picked from our garden. I have stored some wrapped in newspaper and preserved some by dehydrating, making chutney, and have used them daily by making desserts and juices. Today I am going to water bath some pie filling and make some of these scones. I have made them before and Mr S loves them. They are simple to make, a treat, but don’t cost too much money. I am in the UK but tend to use cups to measure as it is quicker than weighing everything. I got my cup measures from Poundland for £1 and you can pick them up at most places for little money now.
Recipe
For scones
2 cups of plain flour
1/3 cup of sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 medium apples, cored and grated
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup of cold butter or margarine
1/2 cup of milk.
For caramel drip
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of milk
1 tbsp butter, unsalted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1. Heat the oven to 200⁰C.
2. Place all the scone dry ingredients in a bowl.
3. Rub the butter into the mixture.
4. Add the grated apple and the milk and mix into a dough.
5. If the dough is sticky add more flour or add a bit more milk if too dry to come together. All apples vary in moisture.
6. Split the dough into 2 balls, and form into 2 circle about 6 inches across and place on lined baking tray. Score 6 triangles in each circle.
7. Cook for 15 to 20 mins until golden brown.
8. Place on a rack to cool.
9. Make the caramel drip by putting the sugars and the milk in a saucepan and bringing them to a boil. Boil for about 3 minutes.
10. Remove from the heat and add the butter and the vanilla, stirring.
11. Cool the mixture slightly before dripping over the scones.
I dribbled a bit of caramel on half the scones and covered the other 6 completely. Both were really nice and I especially liked the cinnamon in them. These will keep about 3 days in a tin but I tend to freeze 3/4 of them so that I don’t eat them all at once. 
Just collected apples from a friends garden. These look gorgeous. Will be a real pick me up for the team on Monday 🍏
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing

I hope that you like them.
Thank you, I need something different to do with the glut of apples we have x
No worries. Thanks for commenting
Great idea – I was looking for a different way to use up some apples
Not to expensive in ingredients, either. Thanks for commenting
Yummy! Will definitely have a go at making this but without the caramel drip, that would be too sweet for me. We’ve got quite a few apples to use and there’s only so much apple crumble you can eat! Thank you for the recipe :-)
Yes we are fed up of crumble too. Thanks
