Ingredients
Dough
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 Tbsp butter (for dough)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (for apples)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter, cold
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, 0 fat
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 - 1 cup icing sugar (for caramel drizzle)
Apple filling
- 1 large apple (tart ones work better), diced
- 1 Tbsp butter (for apple mixture)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Cook apple mixture: In a saucepan, combine butter, diced apple, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Cook until bubbly and apples soften (~5 min). Cool.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs. Stir in yogurt and apple mixture to form dough.
- Shape dough: Knead briefly, then roll into a 14x4 inch rectangle. Fold in half, re-roll, and cut into 9-10 triangles.
- Arrange triangles on baking sheet, bake at 375°F for 15-18 min until golden.
- Prepare caramel drizzle: In a saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, milk, vanilla. Bubble and cook 1 min. Beat in icing sugar until smooth. Drizzle over cooled scones.

For best results, serve warm with extra caramel drizzle.
