These rough-shaped, cinnamon-spiced scones look more like rock cakes than conventional scones, and the chopped apple gives them a pleasant, moist texture.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
¼ cup brown sugar
1 medium apple - peeled, cored, and diced
1 large egg, beaten

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a baking sheet.
Mix flour, cinnamon, and baking powder together in a bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender. Stir in brown sugar and apple, then stir in beaten egg.
Drop the mixture into 12 round heaps on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You could also freeze the butter cubes until they're really cold, about 10 minutes. Then put them in the food processor with the flour mixture and use a couple of quick pulses to cut it in. The resulting mixture shouldn't congeal in a ball; it should resemble pea-sized crumbs.
