Sweet, and full on fall flavor, these caramel apple scones are the perfect breakfast or with afternoon tea!

Tis the season for all things apple and cinnamon. To be fully honest, that is ALL season in this house. Truly. There’s nothing more comforting than the smell of spicy apples baking.

Apples are a wonderful fruit, and have so many wonderful options. Cooking, baking, making sauce, and eating fresh. We really have no favorites in this house, it’s any apple we can get our hands on.

Going to pick apples at a local apple farm is a great family activity, too. Apples can be stored in the fridge, or in a cool, dry place such as a root cellar. Grab a few extra when they are on sale for sweet treats, too.

What apples should I use?

For baking or cooking try:

Cortland
Jonathon
Golden Delicious
Granny Smith
Red Delicious

For making sauce try:

Honey Crisp
Pink Lady
Cortland

For eating fresh try:

Golden Delicious
Honey Crisp
McIntosh

We used Red Delicious apples in these caramel apple cinnamon scones, but any apple you choose will give you nearly the same results. Fresh apple flavor meets spicy cinnamon.

Making your caramel apple scones

Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices. Whisk to combine.
Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
Blend in yogurt and lightly beaten eggs gently until well combined.
Fold in chopped apples and continue folding over until all apples are mixed in.
Turn out onto a floured parchment paper and form into an 8 inch circle.
Place parchment paper on baking sheet and bake in preheated oven. Cut into 8 triangles, gently separate and place back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly, then drizzle with caramel before serving.
