Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Cut the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until the pieces of butter are the size of peas. Fold in the chopped apples.

In another bowl, whisk together the whipping cream, egg, and vanilla. Add to the flour/butter/apple mixture and gently fold with a spatula until the dough just starts to come together. Turn the contents of the bowl onto the countertop and knead/press the mixture just until the dough comes together.

Shape the dough into 3 even rounds each about 1 inch thick. Cut each round into 4 even wedges using a large knife and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Top each scone with a sprinkle of coarse sugar and oats, if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Keep Butter Frozen Until Baking 🧈
Cut your cold salted butter into small cubes and keep it in the freezer until the last moment before mixing; this creates pockets of steam that produce those coveted flaky, tender scone layers.
Dice Apples Just Before Assembly 🍎
Cut your apples into small, uniform pieces immediately before folding them into the dough to prevent oxidation and browning, ensuring bright flavor and texture throughout baking.
Don't Overmix the Dough 🚫
Mix your dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately until just combined—overworking develops gluten and creates dense, tough scones instead of light, crumbly ones.
Toast Your Oats for Depth 🔆
Lightly toast the quick-cooking oats in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding them to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent a raw, bland taste in the finished scones.
Brush Egg Wash for Golden Perfection ✨
Beat your egg and brush it generously onto unbaked scones, then sprinkle with coarse sugar for a beautiful caramelized crust and professional bakery-style finish.
