Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter (cold)
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk

Apple Preparation

  • 2 medium fresh apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon plant-based butter
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup smoked turkey bacon, crumbled (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon smoked turkey slices, diced (optional)

Cinnamon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 2–3 tablespoons plant-based milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel and dice the apples into small pieces. In a skillet, sauté them with plant-based butter and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) over medium heat until just tender but not mushy. Set aside to cool.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, brown sugar (natural), and ground cinnamon (natural) to ensure even distribution of leavening and spices.
  3. Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Using a pastry cutter or fingers, rub the chilled plant-based butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, creating a light and flaky texture.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients and Apples: Gradually pour in the plant-based milk, then fold in the sautéed apples (and smoked turkey bacon or slices if using). Mix gently just until combined, careful not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
  5. Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a roughly 8-inch circle, about one inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Make the Cinnamon Glaze: While baking, whisk together powdered sugar (natural), ground cinnamon (natural), plant-based milk, and natural gelling agent until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over warm scones right after baking.

Notes

  • Keep plant-based butter chilled to ensure flaky layers.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense scones.
  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best flavor balance.
  • Space scones apart on the baking sheet for even baking.
  • Apply glaze while scones are still warm for a perfect finish.
