Apple Cider Scones with Cinnamon Brown Sugar Glaze Recipe from A Kitchen Addiction

There are few things that I like more with a cup of coffee or tea than a fresh baked scone. Especially on a Monday morning!

I was looking back to see what flavor combinations I’d made this year and realized I only have three scones recipes this year!

Considering how many I’ve eaten, three recipes hardly does my love for scones justice! Though I’m sure you probably appreciate not being overrun with scone recipes!

Apple Cider Scones with Cinnamon Brown Sugar Glaze Recipe from A Kitchen Addiction

These apple cider scones with a sweet brown sugar glaze are the perfect pairing to your coffee on a chilly fall morning!

The tender, flaky scones are filled with all of the warm flavors that come to mind when you think fall.

Apple pie spices, shredded fall apples, and fresh apple cider. And to top off all of the apple flavor? A sweet cinnamon brown sugar glaze!

Make sure to knead the dough gently and only as long as needed to get the dough to form. It will be a little “shaggy” looking and slightly sticky from the shredded apple, but that’s okay. If you work with the dough too long, the scones will turn out tough and dry.

Once you get the scones in the oven, let the baking magic happen to transform the dough into soft, tender scones. Then sit back and take a few minutes to relax with your fresh baked scones and hot cup of coffee!
