Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, solid
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Apple, peeled, cored, and diced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Step 3
Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the coconut oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a smaller bowl, combine the applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it will lead to tough scones.
Step 6
Fold in the diced apple pieces until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round disc about 1-inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.
Step 8
Using a sharp knife, cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
Step 9
Carefully place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 11
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature, plain or with a dairy-free spread of your choice.
