Description

Fluffy apple scones with a cinnamon glaze deliver warm spices and sweet-tart apple flavors in every tender, soft bite.

This recipe is simple, plant-based, and adaptable with options for added nuts, spices, or fruit variations.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup natural sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter, cubed
  • 1 cup fresh apples, peeled and diced
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Cinnamon Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2–3 tbsp plant-based milk
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, natural sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution.
  2. Cut in the plant-based butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, incorporate the cold plant-based butter into the dry mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, forming tender, flaky layers.
  3. Add the fresh apples: Gently fold the diced fresh apples into the crumbly mixture, taking care not to crush them to retain juicy texture.
  4. Mix wet ingredients and combine: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, natural vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Slowly pour into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the dough begins to form; avoid overmixing.
  5. Form and cut the scones: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick disc, then cut into 8 equal wedges. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake until golden: Bake the scones in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown with a warm aroma of cinnamon and apple.
  7. Prepare and apply the cinnamon glaze: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, cinnamon, plant-based milk, and natural gelling agent until smooth. Drizzle generously over the warm scones right after baking.

Notes

  • Keep plant-based butter and milk chilled for the flakiest scones.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones.
  • Dice apples uniformly to ensure consistent moisture.
  • Warm glaze slightly if too thick for easier drizzling.
  • Bake scones on the center oven rack for even cooking.
