Apple Cinnamon Scones
Meet your new fall favorite: these Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Cinnamon Scones are tender, flavorful, and simply irresistible. Made with caramelised apples and toasted pecans, the dough for these simple scones comes together easily.
These are easy scones, they are flaky scones, and they are absolutely delicious scones. Now that we’re heading into autumn, it was time for a Fall-inspired scone recipe. One that is perfect for eating for breakfast with your coffee or tea, warmed up and slathered with a little butter or jam. It also makes a fabulous dessert – may I recommend a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top? Scones is pretty easy, but first, decide whether or not you want to caramelize your apples! I tested both ways, and they were both delicious. The apple caramelisation just takes a few extra minutes + cooling time, and I personally think it’s worth it, BUT you do you. The flavor is great either way.
These Apple Scones store great in the freezer to heat up for a quick breakfast, snack, or dessert. They are SO tasty slathered with a little bit of apple butter, ghee, or regular butter. I love enjoying them with tea or coffee. You’re going to love them!
