How to Make Apple And Granola Scones

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, gently combine the diced apple and granola.
5. Add 1/2 cup of the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
6. Stir in the apple and granola mixture.
7. Gradually add the remaining buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
8. If the dough is too sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until it's manageable but still slightly soft.
9. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form it into a 1-inch thick disc.
10. Cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.
11. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
12. Sprinkle generously with brown sugar.
13. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
14. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
15. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
