Apple Scones With Oats And Maple Syrup Recipes

APPLE SCONES WITH OATS AND MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• Mix flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender. Add shredded apples and mix to distribute. Stir in half-and-half, egg, and maple syrup. Mix until dough holds its shape but is still fairly sticky; do not overmix.
• Turn dough out onto a floured board and pat into a circle about 1/2-inch thick. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Brush the top of the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Cut into 12 wedges and place on baking sheets at least 1 inch apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 13 to 15 minutes.

MAPLE-OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flours, oats, baking powder, sugar and salt. Blend the cold butter in at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Combine the buttermilk, maple syrup and eggs and add quickly to the flour-and-butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough may be sticky.
• Dump the dough out onto a well-floured surface and be sure it is combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4 to 1 inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into 3-inch rounds with a plain or fluted cutter and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are crisp and the insides are done.
• To make the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. When the scones are done, cool for 5 minutes and drizzle each scone with 1 tablespoon of the glaze. I like to sprinkle some uncooked oats on the top, for garnish. The warmer the scones are when you glaze them, the thinner the glaze will be.

APPLE OATMEAL SCONES WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray a 12-inch circle in the center using cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter and mix until crumbly.
• In a small bowl, mix together the egg, milk, maple syrup and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix into a sticky dough.
• Fold in the diced apples.
• Place the dough in the center of the baking sheet. Use your hands or a rolling pin to press the dough into a 8-9 inch circle. Use a long knife to cut the circle into 8 even wedges.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into one of the wedges comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack completely before adding the maple glaze.
• In a small bowl, mix the butter, maple syrup and powdered sugar with a whisk until smooth.
• Drizzle over the cooled scones and let set before serving.

APPLE AND OAT SCONES WITH CINNAMON AND NUTMEG

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or rub in with your fingers. (The largest pieces should be the size of small peas.) With your fingertips, flatten butter pieces into small disks. Add apples and buttermilk, stirring until dough just comes together.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat dough into a 6-by-8-inch rectangle, and cut into twelve 2-by-2-inch squares with a floured knife. Place about 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush tops with buttermilk, and sprinkle with raw turbinado sugar and oats. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool on sheets for 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

APPLE OATMEAL SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°; lightly butter a 10-inch diameter circle in the center of a baking sheet.
• In a bowl, stir the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
• Cut the butter into ½ inch cubes and distribute them over the flour mixture.
• With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl, stir the egg, milk, molasses, and vanilla together.
• Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine; the dough will be sticky.
• Stir in the apple and dates until evenly distributed.
• Spread the dough into an 8-inch diameter circle in the center of the prepared baking sheet.
• With a serrated knife, cut into 8 wedges; bake 22-27 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
• Remove the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes.
• Using a spatula, transfer the scones to the wire rack to cool.
• Recut into wedges, if necessary; serve warm.
