APPLE-CRANBERRY OATMEAL SCONES WITH MAPLE VANILLA GLAZE
Steps:

Bake 20 to 25 minutes (only until bottoms of scones turn slightly golden. 8. To make glaze, cream all ingredients together untilsmooth. 9. Spread glaze over warm scones.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweet apples in these scones. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Use cold butter. Cold butter will help to create flaky scones. If you use softened butter, the scones will be more dense.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help to prevent the scones from spreading too much in the oven. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown. The scones should be baked until they are golden brown on top and cooked through in the center. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
