Ingredients
Scone Ingredients:
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups apples peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 8 tablespoons frozen salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- ⅛ teaspoon ground clove
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons caramel dessert topping
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
For Scones:
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ground clove.
- Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture using a cheese grater with large holes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended. Carefully fold in the apples, then combine this with the flour mixture. The dough may appear crumbly, but keep kneading until it comes together.
- Form the dough into an 8-inch disc on the lined baking sheet, ensuring it’s about 1-2 inches thick. Cut into 8 evenly spaced wedges.
- Bake the scones for 15-18 minutes or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
For Glaze:
- To prepare the glaze, mix together the maple syrup, caramel topping, and powdered sugar until smooth. If needed, thin it out with a teaspoon or two of milk.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and enjoy with your favorite beverage!
