Sheet Pan This USA Stainless Steel sheet pan is super durable and great for any kitchen! Pastry Blender This hand-held pastry blender by OXO is a must for any baker!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients; flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Whisk together to combine.
Cut the butter into chunks and add to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the butter to the dry ingredients. Keep mixing the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles gravel. The butter should be in small pea-sized bits. Add the milk and vanilla to the mixture. Using a rubber scraper, mix in the milk and vanilla just until the dry ingredients have been absorbed. Fold in the chopped apples to the dough. Dough will be very thick and will easily form a ball.
Turn the dough ball out on to the lined baking sheet. Using your hands, pat the dough into a circle approximately 10" wide and 1" thick. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the circle into 6 equal triangles.
Bake the scones at 375 degrees for 25-28 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool about 20 minutes before adding the cinnamon glaze.
For the cinnamon glaze: in a small bowl add the powdered sugar substitute and cinnamon. Mix together well using a small whisk or fork. Add in the milk and whisk together well until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over the top of the scones. Enjoy right away.
Storage: store any leftover scones in the refrigerator. Will keep for up to 5 days refrigerated. The scones do well when frozen. Wrap individually in press-and-seal wrap then store in a freezer bag or freezer container. Will keep for up to 3 months frozen.
