APPLE CINNAMON SCONES
I landed my first job in a bakery when I was sixteen. I would come in after school and make huge batches of scone mix to help the morning baker. After I graduated from high school, I became the principal baker --and spent the summer waking up at 2 a.m. Even though I had to go to bed at 7 p.m., I felt like the coolest kid in town. The bakery offered a bunch of different flavors of scones, and I could never decide on a favorite.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C), with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat the cubes with flour. Cut the butter into the flour by rubbing it between your forefingers and thumbs until the butter pieces are between the size of peas and walnut halves. Add the chopped apples and toss gently to combine.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cream. Toss the mixture with your fingers to combine, then knead gently to ensure everything is evenly moistened.
- Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets (I do this by hand because I like them to look craggy, but you can use a No. 16 (1/4-cup scoop)), leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between them. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the scones, switching the sheets from front to back and top to bottom at the halfway mark, for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops and edges are golden brown. The scones can be served warm or at room temperature.

Adopted recipe.These are nice and tender. I think the added sugar on the top makes them just right. You could probably mix the confectioners sugar with a little water to make a glaze for them too.

Tips:
- Use cold butter and buttermilk to create flaky scones. Cold butter will prevent the scones from spreading too much in the oven, while buttermilk will add moisture and tenderness.
- Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture. This will help to create even distribution of the butter throughout the scones.
- Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help to firm up the butter and prevent the scones from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown. The scones are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or cream. The scones are best served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
These apple raisin scones with bourbon whipped cream are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. The scones are flaky and tender, with a sweet and slightly tart flavor from the apples and raisins. The bourbon whipped cream is a perfect complement to the scones, adding a touch of richness and flavor. These scones are sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
