Instructions

Preheat your oven and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated apple, butter, and sugar until well mixed.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixture and stir until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream, then slowly add to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Fold in the cinnamon sweet bits gently until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, and shape it into a round disc, then cut it into wedges.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, then cool before glazing with powdered sugar mixed with cinnamon and a little milk.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, use a mix of different apple varieties.
These scones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
For added sweetness, drizzle more glaze over the warm scones.
