Apple Cinnamon Scones make for a great weekend breakfast idea. This recipe makes a scone that is so moist and delicious! I’ve used the same basic scone recipe I’ve used before but made a different flavor profile.
To go along with my fun new blog header, I decided to quickly post these babies. I’ve had fun playing around with the sour cream scones I posted in the fall and these are one of my favorite variations. They are packed with fresh apples then rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking. Yum! If you want to up the “pretty factor” just drizzle them with some powdered sugar glaze. I am always a fan of a good drizzle of glaze 🙂
These scones turn out fairly large and one is more than enough for one person. I have found that they do last well for a couple days after baking in an air tight container.

You mentioned juice from a 1/2 large orange and also zest in the recipe card but did not say when to add…Could you let me know that, please…I’d like to try the recipe!
Hey Vicki! Just add it with the rest of the ingredients before putting it in the oven.

How much zest is needed? Is it optional?
Just the zest from the orange and yes it is optional
