Instructions

Preheat your oven and prepare for baking.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Grate the frozen butter and mix with grated apples in a large bowl.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, then add the butter-apple mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract; then combine with dry ingredients.
Fold in cinnamon sweet bits gently and mix until just combined.
Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into scones.
Bake until golden and fragrant, then let cool slightly.

Notes

For added flavor, use different types of apples depending on your preference.
Ensure the butter and cream are cold for a flakier texture in the scones.
Drizzle with icing for a touch of sweetness after baking.
