These gluten-free applesauce scones are tender, flaky, and bursting with the flavors of fresh apples and warm spices. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or afternoon snack!
Ingredients: 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed. 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce. 1/4 cup milk or dairy-free alternative. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup chopped apples peeled and cored.
Instructions: Get the oven ready by heating it up to 400F 200C. Put parchment paper or a little oil on a baking sheet and line it with it. You will need a large bowl to mix the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fork until it looks like big crumbs. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and applesauce to a different bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix them together just until they are mixed. Add the chopped apples slowly and stir them into the dough until they are spread out evenly. Spread the dough out on a surface that has been lightly dusted with flour. Knead it a few times until it comes together. Cut the dough into 8 wedges after rolling it into a circle that's about an inch thick. Put the scones on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit before you serve it. Feel free to eat it hot or cold.
