Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons shortening, chilled

2 apple - peeled, cored and chopped

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 tablespoon milk

1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract

1 tablespoon milk

1 egg, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar

1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl.

Use two forks or a pastry blender to cut in the shortening with the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse corn meal.

Stir in the apples.

Whisk 1 egg, yogurt, milk, and almond extract together in a small bowl until smooth.

Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture just until blended.

Gather the dough, and place the dough on a lightly floured surface; knead 4 to 5 times. Pat dough into a 7 inch diameter circle about 1 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into 8 wedges, and place on prepared baking sheet.

To make the scone topping, whisk the milk and 1 egg together in a small bowl.

Brush tops of scones with the egg mixture.

Sprinkle each scone with cinnamon sugar and almonds.

Bake in preheated oven until tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

Serve warm.
