The fall is such a great time to experiment with apple flavors! You can find apple cider in your local grocery stores or farmer’s markets and it’s a great time to use up any leftover bottles of it that you have. You will need fresh apples for the scone dough, the regular apple cider brings all of the awesome apple flavor.

FAQs:Can I use store-bought apple cider? Absolutely! You can use your favorite store-bought apple cider in this recipe. However, if you have the time, making your own fresh apple cider from scratch will add an extra layer of flavor.

Can I freeze the scone dough for later? Yes, you can! Simply wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container before freezing. When you’re ready to bake, allow the dough to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cutting and baking as usual.

Can I substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour? Yes, you can use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour. Just ensure that the blend includes a binding agent like xanthan gum for best results.
