Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup flours
  • ¼ cup white granulated sugar
  • ⅛ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ nutmeg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping after oven:

  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Apple Pie Topping

  • 20 ounce can apple pie filling rinsed and diced
  • 1 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Caramel Sauce to drizzle

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, white granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
  • Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Gently fold in the rinsed and diced apple pie filling until evenly distributed.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
  • Cut the rectangle into triangles or wedges, depending on your preferred scone shape, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden.
  • While the scones bake, prepare the apple pie topping: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apple pie filling, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, water, and lemon juice. Mix gently until well combined.
  • Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and immediately dip the tops in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the apple pie topping onto each scone while still warm.
  • Drizzle with caramel sauce over the apple topping.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious caramel apple pie scones.
