APPLE SPICE SCONES

Steps:

• Combine butter, brown sugar, apples, and spices in a skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is bubbling and apples are slightly tender. Use a slotted spoon to remove apples from pan, and transfer the remaining apple spice syrup (about 2 tablespoons) into a small bowl for the glaze. Chill caramelized apples for 15 minutes in the freezer.
• For the scones, line two rimmed baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, spices, and sugar in a medium bowl. Drizzle cream over flour mixture and fold in just until flour is incorporated. Add caramelized apples and gently fold in just until a shaggy dough forms - if needed, add 2 more tablespoons cream.
• Divide dough in half and turn out on a lightly floured board. Use lightly floured hands to pat each half into a 6-inch circle. Place the two circles of dough on prepared baking sheets and cut each circle into 7 wedges. Chill baking sheets in the freezer for 20 minutes while preheating oven to 425°F.
• Pull the wedges slightly apart, leaving an inch between them. Brush scones with cream and bake for 24 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until tops are set, edges are beginning to turn golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool scones for 5 minutes on baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool. For the glaze, whisk together apple spice syrup, powdered sugar, allspice, salt, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over scones and let set before serving.
