Hello, everyone! My name is Erin from DelightfulEMade, and I’m so thrilled to be a new contributor over here at Miss Information! I’m really looking forward to getting to know all of you, and am excited to share some of my ideas on making life more “Delightful” with food. I’ve got some great things planned for the upcoming months to share with you, so stay tuned. 😉 With that being said, I’ve gotta share with you these Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Scones that I’ve been making this fall. 
So, if you’ve been to my site lately, you’ll probably notice that I’ve gone a little apple-crazy. Yes, it’s true. This time of year, I simply cannot help myself! Without a doubt, fall is my favorite time of year, and I love nothing more than cooking and baking with all of the deliciousness that the season brings. 
These scones are nothing short of amazing! They are made with whole wheat flour, oatmeal, apples and spices and lightly drizzled with a cinnamon glaze. They bake up so wonderfully. The outside of the scone is crisp, but inside remains light and tender with the help from the diced apples. I had one of these yesterday morning for breakfast, and it took some serious will-power on my behalf not to eat 3 or 4! Yes, they are that good! 
These scones are the perfect partner with your morning coffee or tea. They are also great to share with friends, neighbors, or to take in to your work break room. These Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Scones would also be the perfect addition to your next brunch, or great to have on hand as a simple on-the-go breakfast. 
These scones are really easy to make! The dough comes together in just minutes, and with a little time in the oven, you’ll have a delicious morning treat that your entire family will enjoy. Here’s how these Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Scones come together:
- 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
- 3/4 c. oatmeal instant or old fashioned
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/2 c. 1 stick cold butter
- 1/2 c. milk
- 1 medium apple cored, peeled and chopped
- Cinnamon Glaze:
- 1/2 c. powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 - 2 Tbsp. milk
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.) Using a pastry cutter or forks, cut in the butter to the dry ingredients. Add the milk and continue to mix. The dough will become crumbly and slightly sticky. Lastly, fold in the apple chunks into the batter. Stir just until the apples are evenly distributed into the dough.
- Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface, shaping it into round disk, approximately 10 inches wide, by 1 inch thick (give or take, just an estimate). Cut the dough into 6 triangles. (You could also cut into 12 mini scones.) Transfer the scones on to a baking sheet, and bake for 22-25 minutes at 375 degrees, baking to a golden brown. Cool for a few minutes before glazing.
- For glaze: In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar and cinnamon using a fork or small whisk. Gradually add in the milk, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the scones with the glaze. Enjoy!
As you can see, these scones come together easily. Bring them to a friend and enjoy over coffee, or make for your family on a cool fall morning. The flavor of these scones will make you wish fall was around all year long!
