Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup vegan butter
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold vegan butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until crumbly.

Step 4

Stir in the granulated sugar.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and vanilla extract. Pour this liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the diced apple gently.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into an 8-inch round disk.

Step 8

Cut the disk into 8 triangles using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.

Step 11

Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 12

To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add a teaspoon of almond milk and mix until smooth. If too thick, add a little more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Step 13

Drizzle the glaze over the scones once they have cooled slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
