I have never made scones, but this recipe was very simple and easy to make. The scones were very light and fluffy, but could use more apple i think. Overall nice low calorie recipe!

In the interest of time I chopped the apple instead of shredding it and used a cookie scoop to make "mini" scones. I rolled them in the cinnamon sugar mixture before baking. A tasty treat.

YUM! My son went to the pumpkin patch for a field trip and they got to pick apples so this is what we used them for. They where delicious! the only thing I changed was that I drizzeled them with a simple glaze. My son was so happy that his apples where so yummy!

These were excellent and not too sweet. I added about 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice directly to the dough as well. I didn't have any milk and used cream instead, which was marvelous. The dough at first was very, very dry and almost impossible to incorporate all of flour, so I added about 1 Tbsp. plain yogurt to make it a little smoother. I would recommend baking them 11-12 minutes instead of the full 15 to keep them from being crunchy.

It was good. You might want to eat with Apple Jam and butter, since scones are not sweet. I had them with cream cheese and honey and they were really good!

The end result was good. I just had a hard time with the dough it was way too sticking even after adding more flour. Plus I didn't get any apple flavor. I doubt I would make again.

These were pretty darn good...but they had a problem: no flavor. I covered the scones in Cinnamon and Sugar, as i really love cinnamon.But even with that it was not to flavorful.It needs more to it. The only change I made was using heavy cream instead of milk, because i was out.

These scones turned out perfect, not too dense, not too fluffy. Because the dough was sticky, I skipped the kneading and just dropped the scones by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet. They turned out fine.

Followed the recipe exactly except I also added a hint of cinnamon & nutmeg to the dough. I used a large granny smith apple and added the exact amount of milk in the recipe but it came out dry and not sweet enough for my taste. Will try again with maybe more milk or (like my favorite scone recipe suggests) a spoon of sour cream. Used frozen butter and shredded it in my Cuisinart, then used the dough blade to assemble the dough.

Amazing scones. This is my first attempt at making them. I ended up changing the recipe a bit: doubling the sugar, adding 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and 1/2 tsp cinnamon, as Kristiegreen suggested. Also, I added 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup more flour than the recipe call for, as the dough came out really sticky. However, they came out tasting sweet and rich and I'd make them again in a second!
