Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and line a cookie tray with parchment paper.
- Stir together dry ingredients until combined.
- Cut in your vegan butter until crumbly.
- Toss in your finely chopped pecans and your chopped, spiced apple pieces.
- In a separate bowl, stir together your milk, applesauce and vanilla.
- Make a well in your dry ingredients and add your wet ingredients.
- Mix gently by hand just until flour is combined. Knead two or three times gently to make a soft dough. The less you mix this, the better your final product.
- Put you dough on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper and divide the dough into two. With each half, make a circle of approximately 6 inches in diameter. Divide each circle into 6 even triangles.
- Put your scones onto your lined cookie sheet and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until well-browned.
- While scones are cooking, mix your icing sugar and maple sugar to make a pourable glaze. Adjust sugar as required.
- When scones are finished baking, let cool for a minute or two and then drizzle, while the scones are still warm, with the maple glaze. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans and then some more maple drizzle!
- These are best when eaten warm! Enjoy!!
