Easy Caramel Apple Scones

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, sift baking mix then add cubes of butter. Using a pastry blender or your hands, incorporate butter into flour until it has the texture of wet sand. Do not over work or completely break apart butter.
3. Add 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, 1/2 cup cream, egg and chopped apples. Incorporate with your hands as much as possible.
4. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of flour on surface and fold mixture onto flour. Fold mixture onto it's self 4 times or until mixture holds itself together. If necessary, use additional flour a tablespoon at a time.
5. Flatten dough into about an 1 to 2 inch thick circle and cut dough into 8 triangles.
6. Arrange scones on baking sheet, without touching, and brush with remaining cream and sprinkle with sugar. A more coarse sugar is great but you can use regular sugar as well.
7. Bake scones 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
