Apple Cinnamon Scones with Maple Glaze from Sarah Fox, guest author


I'd like to welcome an author new to us at Mystery Lovers Kitchen, fellow Canadian Sarah Fox who writes the acclaimed Pancake House Mysteries. Thanks so much for joining us,Sarah and for this mouth-watering recipe along with a #bookgiveaway! - Essie


For my amateur sleuth, Marley McKinney, one of the best parts of owning a pancake house is getting to test the recipes created by the head chef, Ivan Kaminski. Ivan might be a burly, intimidating man with a near-permanent scowl, but he has a heart of gold and he’s a wizard in the kitchen. Ivan’s apple cinnamon scones with maple glaze are one of Marley’s favorite treats to enjoy for breakfast or for a quick snack. I hope you’ll enjoy them too!


APPLE CINNAMON SCONES WITH MAPLE GLAZE  

Scones

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup apples, chopped (I use Granny Smith)
1 egg
1 cup cream
1 teaspoon vanilla


Preheat oven to 400°F.

Peel, core, and chop the apple.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Cut the butter into small pieces and cut it into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse oatmeal. Mix in the chopped apple.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cream, and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients. If the dough is too dry, add some cream or milk, just a little bit at a time, until you can form the dough into a ball.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly, about 8 to 10 times. Form dough into a ball and place on the baking sheet. Flatten the ball into a disc approximately 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 pieces but do not separate the pieces.









Bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.

 


Maple Glaze

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ cup icing sugar
2 teaspoons cream

In a small bowl, mix together glaze ingredients until smooth. Once the scones have cooled, drizzle with glaze and serve.
