Delicious! My family of 4 (including 2 under age 4) had no problem finishing the whole batch for breakfast! I made a couple of minor changes...including using half whole wheat flour and adding a few dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter. I used the whole 1/2 cup of milk and the dough was not too sticky as some said. It was perfect. At the last minute, I decided to whip up a little glaze of powdered sugar, apple juice, and cinnamon to drizzle on top. That made them extra special. I'll be making these again, tomorrow actually, and many more times for sure!

Still not quite the scone I'm looking for, but it may have been due to my alterations. I realized I had no baking apples, so I went with strawberries and shredded coconut. I added a heaping half-teaspoon of cinnamon and went with half whole-wheat. Not too fluffy or too sweet. They rose more than I expected to next time I'll flatten them out more.

I tried to make scones once before and they ended up burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. So anyway I'm trying to give it another go this time kneeding it less. I swapped a couple of things...I added in raisans, took out the apple, used ghee instead of butter cause we were out and also used a tsp of cinnamon instead of 1/2 and also added in 1/2 tsp allspice and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. I coated it with just milk and white sugar. I also didn't have any bi-carb soda so I used 3 tsp of baking powder. I really regret using the ghee as I don't think it's usually used in baking and gives a strong smell that I quite dislike when it's cooking-I have gotten a headache. I doubt anyone would sub it in instead of butter-but just a warning. DON'T! I'm still giving this recipe 4 stars just because I didn't follow it exactly and if I had butter I'm sure that there might have been a better result. It did brown nicely though although inside wouldnt very scone-like..you might need more flour. Oh and ghee is purified butter.

They were yummy, but were not as scone-like as they should have been. Far too doughy.

I loved these scones. I made half the batch, but still used a whole granny smith apple, diced up. Likely too much apple for the dough, but I loved them. I also added cinnamon to the batter, since I love cinnamon. I also replaced the butter with light Becel margarine, next time I'm going to try replacing the sugar with Splenda and see how it goes.

I found the dough to be dry and impossible to manage without adding more milk... and while the scones looked nice, they were rather tough.

This recipe lacked taste. I added extra apple as suggested but it needs something else. Easy recipe if you are a first timer at scones.

I really like this recipe the way it is. It is not to sweet and has just enough apple for my tastes. The great thing about it, is it's so easy to make, if you want to try more or less of something you can have another batch in no time!

These were really good, but I think it needs a lot more apple. Also, we sprinkled alot of cinnamon & sugar on the top. The house smelled fantastic!!

This recipe is a work in progress. I never had scones before, but I think I agree with another review that you need more than one apple.There just was not enough apple flavor in the scone. I enjoyed makeing these, and I'll continue to make them and try to make them better.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Easy to make, very tasty. My son loved it! I however used 1/2 of sugar, leftover Gerber apple sauce and no milk. I also did not use any sugar or cinnamon for topping (I added cinnamon into the dough), but came out very good. Thanks for sharing.

Oh very good! I used 2 apples because mine were so small. Less fat than an ordinary scone, but extremely satisfying. Thanks for sharing this recipe. A keeper!

I liked that this didn't use eggs and seems much healthier than a standard scone recipe with only 1/4 cup of butter and regular milk. I subbed 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour in addition to 1.5 cups of white flour and my apple seemed small so i used about one and a half apples. unlike other reviewers my dough came out very wet and i just kneaded it in the bowl and dropped blobs onto a cookie sheet.

a very simple recipe, i substituted the apple with a pear, but i didn't taste it at all in the scone. hopefully an apple is more flavorful! i did add a bit more extra sugar & 1tsp of cinnamon into the scone. i like the recipe & the resulting scones, but the texture isn't as flakey as i would have liked. oh well, i enjoyed making these!

Though I don't know what scone dough is supposed to be like, mine seemed rather dry. However, after I took them out of the oven, the scones were still doughy inside. The flavor was good, but the texture wasn't scone-y enough for me.

I changed things a bit with this recipe - cut the milk in half to 1/4 cup, added 1/2 ts to the dry mixture, and added a 1/4 ts of vanilla with the milk and shredded apple. I also used two apples instead of one. Even with cutting the milk in half, the dough was ridiculously sticky. Initially I thought it wouldn't be a big deal and that I would tough it out, but it was literally so sticky it couldn't be worked or kneaded at all. We ended up adding close to another cup of flour while trying to knead it, just to make it manageable. However, the taste was WONDERFUL and it smelled soooo good while baking - my only complaint with the finished product was that it was very cakey, but I'm assuming this was a mistake on my part about how I cut the butter in, or possibly the fact that I had to add so much flour when kneading. My only other complaint is that they don't freeze well. We had three left and stuck them in the freezer, and defrosted them the next day and they were soggy and moldy - but, this is probably because of my freezer.

These tasted great. I mixed everything up in my standing mixer, which made it such that I didn't have to knead the dough. I formed 2 blobs of dough on my cookie sheet & then spread the milk & sugar on. Once I did that, I found it was easier to mold the dough & spread it out some. It wasn't as sticky once the milk was on it.
