Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Step 7

Gently fold in the diced apple pieces.

Step 8

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a 6-inch disk.

Step 9

Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
