Apple and Cinnamon Scones

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.
Cheese Scones

I prefer fruit scones, layered with cream and jam, but a savoury cheese scone is nice too - especially when still warm from the oven and coated in butter.
This will make 6 reasonable sized scones
