Buttery, flaky scones packed with caramelized apple chunks. Best served warm.
Peel and dice the apple. In a pan, melt unsalted butter and cook the diced apples over low heat until soft. Add cinnamon. Let cool completely.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sugar.
Add the cold unsalted butter and rub into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the cooled apples, then pour in the heavy cream. Mix until just combined into a dough.
Pat dough to 2-3cm thickness. Cut in half, stack on top of each other, and flatten again.
Cut into triangles or use a round cutter. Place on a baking sheet and brush tops with egg wash.
Bake at 170°C for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden brown.
