These vegan apple cinnamon scones are flaky, tender, and bursting with the flavors of fresh apples and warm cinnamon. Perfect for breakfast or a cozy afternoon snack!
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 tablespoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/2 cup vegan butter, chilled and cubed. 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce. 1/4 cup non-dairy milk such as almond or soy. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 medium apple, peeled and diced.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 400F 200C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add chilled vegan butter to the dry ingredients mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together applesauce, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in diced apple until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a knife to cut the circle into 8 equal wedges. Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious vegan apple cinnamon scones!
