I love a scone or a biscuit. These decadent quick breads are actually what I miss the most from my gluten eating days. It’s no wonder I’ve created so many biscuit and scone recipes over the years. Since it is fall and maybe you’re sick of pumpkin spice by now, I thought I’d share this old family favorite – apple spice scones. One of the special things about this recipe is that they’re actually sugar free. That’s right – the only sweetness here comes from the shredded apples. Now, because I primarily make these for consumption by growing teenagers, I will sometimes add a powdered sugar glaze as you see below. I prefer them plain (warmed up, of course) or with a little butter.

These scones are a quick recipe to throw together and make a way better breakfast than cereal or a packaged bar!

Make-ahead tip: These scones freeze beautifully so go ahead and make a double batch and keep some in the freezer for busy mornings. I keep mine refrigerated so they will last up to two weeks. Though, in reality, they’re always long gone before that!
