Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip flour into a large bowl with butter then rub in using fingers until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Stir in sugar and cinnamon, add apple and give everything a mix.
- Pour in milk and stir it in quickly, then fold dough over 2-3 times until it's a little smoother. Tip onto a lightly floured surface; pat into a round about 3cm deep.
- Dip a 6cm cutter into some flour then cut out scones, flouring the cutter each time. Squash offcuts lightly back into a round and repeat until all dough is used up. Brush tops with a little milk then place on to a lightly floured baking sheet and bake for 18-20 mins until risen and golden. Allow to cool on the tray.
- To serve, split scones then spread with a dollop of clotted cream and a spoonful of blackberry compote.

Tips:

- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make the scones ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe instructions and then let them cool completely. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, thaw the scones overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours. Then, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
- Serve the scones warm with blackberry compote, whipped cream, or your favorite topping.
