Apple and Cinnamon Scones
2024-09-08 08:59
Scones are awesome.
But, you generally only see raisin or cheese scones in shops. This recipe makes a set of apple and cinnamon scones.
To really bring out the flavour, serve with clotted cream and jam.
This recipe can be varied quite a lot. For example, if you dust with a little icing sugar you can achieve a sweetness balance that's reminiscent of a Strudel.
The type of apple used can also be varied - Granny smith apples will taste quite tart whilst something like Gala will lend more sweetness. If the apple is being chunked rather than grated, you can also caramelise it in sweet cinnamon first.
As with any scone, take care when mixing: you want to try and mix without overly warming the butter or patting too much air out: they're supposed to be light and crumbly.
Cinnamon Roll French Toast

Someone I follow on Twitter tweeted about making these and provided a link to the original recipe. I love cinnamon swirls but hate waiting for pastry to prove, so figured I'd give them a go.
This recipe amends the original in a few small ways * Uses SI for measurements * Adjusts the sugar ratio a bit * Does the prep first
They work really well - I was a little dubious of the inclusion of egg to begin with, but it helps the bread maintain it's shape and the other flavours drown out the egg flavour.
If you want them to look really nice, you'll need to pipe the icing on - or if you're like me, just splat it on with a spoon
Rhubarb and Apple Crumble

Nothing follows a good roast like a good crumble. Unlike my Sweet Rhubarb Crumble recipe, this crumble strikes a balance between apple and rhubarb
Best served with custard, but can also go with cream or ice-cream
