How to Make Apple Scone Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and place rack in the center.
2. Grease a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of the 1/2 cup milk. Set aside for glazing.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
5. Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 large egg, remaining 1/4 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
7. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, stirring gently just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 4-5 times. Divide the dough in half.
9. Pat one half of the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate.
10. In a separate bowl, toss together 4 medium apples (about 2 cups peeled and sliced), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
11. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the bottom crust.
12. On a lightly floured surface, roll the remaining dough into a 9-inch circle.
13. Carefully place the top crust over the apples. Seal the edges by pinching them together.
14. Brush the top crust with the reserved egg and milk glaze and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
15. Cut a slit in the center of the top crust to allow steam to escape.
16. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
17. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
18. Serve warm with a dollop of frozen vanilla yogurt or whipped cream.
