Scones are my weakness, I pretty much love every flavor. But apple cider scones are so good, especially when they are still warm.
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.
Grab an extra pint next time you are at the store to make these delicious apple cinnamon scones! if you have leftovers you can always store them in an airtight container. If they aren’t eaten within a day or two you can pop them in the microwave for about 15 seconds and enjoy the delicious flavor again!
Fall treats are my JAM! These are no different, they are decadent and so yum. I actually made two batches in one day! It was just that good. The apple cider brings out a delicious flavor to them and I love the crunchy top that these get while baking.
The scones themselves are moist, flaky, and easy to make! I can’t implore you enough to make them. This is the best time of year for scone recipes. This recipes calls for a delicious cinnamon glaze on the tops of the scones.
These would go perfectly with your pumpkin spice latte — it’s my favorite season for all of the warm spices. These fresh apple cider scones are even better the next day! What is your favorite, a tough scone or a soft scone? I LOVE soft scones the most!
The apple cider and the glaze put these delicious scones over the top and in my opinion, they were awesome even before adding in that glaze.
