APPLE-WALNUT DROP SCONES
There are many reasons an apple a day may keep the doctor away. Among popular fruits, apples rank second (after cranberries) in antioxidant power, according to the nutritionist Jonny Bowden. They are extremely high in phenolic compounds (polyphenols), particularly quercetin, and if the apple is red, anthocyanins. These phytochemicals carry many health benefits, both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Apples have been linked to lower rates of heart disease in several studies. The phytonutrients in apples are concentrated in and right under the skin. So whenever it's possible when you're cooking with apples, it's best not to peel them. Seek out organic apples if possible, as the skin is also where you'll find most of the pesticide residue, and conventionally farmed apples are on the Environmental Working Group's list of the most contaminated produce.Scones are easy to make and lend themselves to whole-grain flours. These are particularly moist because of the grated apples.

EASY APPLE CINNAMON WALNUT SCONES
I made these up this morning when we were looking for a different flavour of scone for breakfast. I forgot to put sugar in the scones, so I sprinkled the top with Demmara Sugar - and I like them better that way! It adds a nice crunch on top. These are not your typical buttery scone - these are more of a hearty, healthy, and hold you till lunch kind of scone! If you don't have cinnamon chips, add a tbsp or two of brown sugar and increase the cinnamon to 1 tsp to compensate.
