Easy Apple Cinnamon Walnut Scones

Submitted by Katzen

"I made these up this morning when we were looking for a different flavour of scone for breakfast. I forgot to put sugar in the scones, so I sprinkled the top with Demmara Sugar - and I like them better that way! It adds a nice crunch on top. These are not your typical buttery scone - these are more of a hearty, healthy, and hold you till lunch kind of scone! If you don't have cinnamon chips, add a tbsp or two of brown sugar and increase the cinnamon to 1 tsp to compensate."

WOW Kat, you came up with a real winner of a recipe here! LOVED these and so did my whole family! :) Mmmm! They have such a delightful flavour combination with the nuts, apple and cinnamon. Just great! <br/>I used spelt flour, one large sour apple and oat bran in place of the whole oats as I was out of those. The scones came out fantastic with such a great texture and taste. Ill definitely make these soon again! <br/>I ended up with 7 nicely sized scones from the full recipe.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us! Made and reviewed for 1-2-3-Hit Wonders December 2010.

We loved these! I did add 1/4 cup sugar. Great right out of the oven, the next was still yummy. No salt! Great for those you restrict their intake of sodium ????

I needed to make a few adjustments with these. They needed about 1/2 cup extra liquid to mix, and though I split the batch into 7 snack-size scones, they needed 25 minutes to bake. I might even leave them in for 30 minutes next time. Still, notice there WILL be a next time - they still taste great and are so wholesome, for a baked goodie!! I would like to try them with whole wheat pastry or spelt flour. Thanks for posting!
