Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup softened plant-based butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped smoked turkey bacon
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Apple Mixture

  • 1 fresh apple, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Cinnamon Glaze

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons grape juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a small bowl, toss diced fresh apples with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (natural) and 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent. This ensures the apple pieces remain tender and hold their shape in the scones.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural). Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Cut in Plant-Based Butter and Smoked Turkey Bacon: Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut 1/2 cup softened plant-based butter and 1/4 cup chopped smoked turkey bacon into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup plant-based milk and 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture, gently folding to form a dough without overmixing to keep scones tender.
  5. Incorporate the Apple Mixture: Fold the prepared apple mixture gently and evenly into the dough, ensuring juicy apple bursts in every bite.
  6. Shape and Bake: Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 equal wedges. Place wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes until golden and risen.
  7. Prepare the Cinnamon Glaze: While scones bake, whisk 3/4 cup powdered sugar (natural), 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural), 2 tablespoons grape juice, and 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent until smooth and slightly thickened.
  8. Glaze and Serve: When scones have cooled slightly, drizzle the cinnamon glaze generously over each wedge for a sweet and warm finish.

Notes

  • Use cold plant-based butter for best flaky texture.
  • Do not overwork the dough to keep scones tender.
  • Choose crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for ideal texture and flavor.
  • Apply the cinnamon glaze while scones are warm for better absorption and shine.
  • Adjust cinnamon amount in dough and glaze to suit your taste preferences.
