How to Make Apple Oatmeal Scones

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch diameter circle on a baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, molasses, and vanilla extract.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
6. Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped dates.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into an 8-inch diameter circle.
8. Place the dough circle onto the prepared baking sheet.
9. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges.
10. Bake for 22-27 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Serve warm and enjoy!
