Apple Cinnamon Scones

These are quick and easy to make and taste absolutely delicious, great toasted or fresh out of the oven, perfect for breakfast. *I have made these and posted the recipe only afterward, they turned out well though it is true that the dough is fairly sticky. Applesauce and buttermilk are what make this recipe moist, so perhaps in substituting them lies the problem, as for flavour. It could be that my measurements need editing, in which case I will try the recipe again and correct it if necessary.
