Ingredients
  • 250 g self raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 60 g butter
  • 25 g caster sugar
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 100 ml full fat milk plus a little extra for glazing the scones before cooking
For the caramelised apple :)
  • 1 large apple peeled, cored and chopped into small chunks
  • 25 g caster sugar
  • 25 g butter
Instructions

  1. For the caramelised apple :)

  2. Fry the chopped apple in a large knob of butter and a handful of sugar until the juices evaporate and the apple begins to caramelise around the edges. This will take at least 5 minutes and will need to be watched to prevent burning. Once golden, remove from the heat and let the apple cool down while you prepare the scone mixture.
For the scones :)
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees
  2. Place the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar in a bowl
  3. Add the butter and rub into the flour mixture until  it resembles breadcrumbs

  4. Whisk the egg in a measuring jug and add the milk

  5. Add this into the dry mix and stir it well

  6. Fold in the caramelised apples but do not use the remaining juice from the pan

  7. Place the dough onto a floured work surface and knead lightly

  8. Shape the dough into a circular shape  (2cm thick) using hands not rolling pin as this keeps the air in the mixture

  9. Cut out scones and re-roll the  dough to use up all the mixture
  10. Brush the scones with milk
  11. Place the scones on a baking tray lined with baking parchment
  12. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden brown
