Brown Flour Apple Cinnamon Scones

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

3. 3

   Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Stir in the brown sugar and diced apples.

5. 5

   Gradually add the milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. 6

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times to bring it together.

7. 7

   Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

8. 8

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. 9

   Allow the scones to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
