How to Make Apple And Honey Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup wheat germ, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup peeled and diced apple, 3/4 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons honey.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 9-inch circle, about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. For the topping (optional): Combine 1/4 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
  8. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite spread!
