Tethering Grace & Togetherness

Apple Oatmeal Scones with Maple-Cinnamon Glaze

August 28, 2013 by HappyGoStuckey 4 Comments

So it’s the very end of August, but it’s still RATHER hot outside.

I think I have blow-dried my hair ONCE in the last three weeks. Because how else should you combat rising temperatures but go around looking like a half- drowned rat all day? I kid. Actually, I have “gone curly” a LOT this summer. Also, the sock bun has been my best friend. I’ve also been a big fan of the good ole’ standard– the pony tail. I’m bringing my cheer days back. Not really, because those days involved an entire can of Salon Selectives Ultra-Hold and well, I’m just not that girl any more.

But enough about my hair, let’s talk about something really interesting. FALL. More importantly, FALL SCONES.

Anyone who knows me– knows I’m a scone girl. Not only is it one of my absolute favorite baked goods–but my grandmother was 100% British– so HEY! It’s in my genes, man! Many people don’t care for scones, but I would say–maybe you havent had a really good scone! Don’t go to Starbucks– or even Panera and get your “first ever” scone. Make them yourself and see what you think! You haven’t had a GOOD scone, until you’ve had one fresh out of the oven. Okay, enough chatter.

Mmmm. Look at that! Oatmeal Scones studded with Diced Apples                                                                                                                           which have been bathed in cinnamon, sugar and a bit of melted butter

Then topped off with a simple powdered sugar glaze, with a smidge of maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon. Fall perfection! And technically, these would be great in September, before we are all fully in “FALL MODE.” I’ve always thought of September as a “Apples & Cinnamon Month,” because clearly- October and November are definitely for Pumpkin. But I could eat apples and cinnamon any time really.

Apple Oatmeal Scones with Maple Cinnamon Glaze

(Makes 8 Large or 16 Small Scones)

Preheat Oven to 425′ and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper– or leave un-greased.

Now, I make these in my food processor because they come together almost instantly and the dough is less handled and therefore more tender. But you could also mix them by hand.. That works as well.

Whisk (or Pulse) together:

2 cups of All Purpose Flour

2/3 cup Rolled Oats

1/3 cup of Sugar

1 Tbs. Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon (add more if you REALLY like cinnamon!)

1/2 tsp Salt

Drop in:

6 Tbs. cold Unsalted Butter, cut into pieces.

Cut in the butter with 2 knives, or a pastry blender, or if you are using the food processor.. just push that little pulse button a couple of times.

Your mixture should be like breadcrumbs with some larger pea-size pieces.

Now for the apples:

Take one apple, peeled, cored and diced and mix together with 1/2  tbs. melted butter, a pinch of cinnamon, and a pinch of sugar. Taste them, they should taste like “apple pie” apples.

Mix them into the dry/ butter scone mixture.

Whisk together and add all at once:

1 large egg

1/2 cup of half & half or cream. (Milk will not work as well. They will be drier, not flaky.)

Now you want to knead your dough only slightly until it all comes together.. (again if you’re using that food processor, just press pulse a couple of times. Gosh, I love that machine.) Don’t OVER MIX!

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat the dough into either one or two circles and cut into wedges. If they aren’t perfect, don’t sweat it. Scones are a beautiful food, especially when they are rustic!

Place the wedges about a 1/2 inch apart on the cookie sheet.

Bake until the tops are light golden brown, 10-12 minutes.

After they cool for about 5 minutes–

Mix 1/3 cup Powdered Sugar with 1 tsp. Maple Syrup and a dash of cinnamon. Add a bit of milk if you need to thin the glaze. Whisk together with a fork and then drizzle over the warm scones. Serve warm or cool.

*These freeze beautifully.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 cups of All Purpose Flour

2/3 cup Rolled Oats

1/3 cup of Sugar

1 Tbs. Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Salt

6 TBS. Cold Unsalted Butter + 1/2 TBS. Melted Butter

1 Apple

Dashes of Cinnamon and Sugar

1 Egg

1/2 Cup of Half & Half

1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar

1 tsp. Maple Syrup

More Milk as needed to thin the glaze

    Reading this post felt JUST like if I were in your kitchen and you had just poured yourself a cup of coffee and, after just one sip, had enough caffeine to suddenly go into a lovely monologue about all things important- like hair and scones. I love it. And seeing as I’m drinking coffee while reading this, it’s ALMOST as if I am in your kitchen waiting for you to finish drizzling the glaze so we can eat the scones!

    …while Lance and Mike are in the background talking about sconces, of course.

    I’m drinking coffee TOO! And wishing these scones were in the kitchen and not just a lovely picture from a few weeks ago. 🙂 We are having virtual coffee together! ALMOST as good as the real thing. ALMOST. Love you, Friend.

    […] More than just a sugar bowl brimming with good memories, that little haven gave me a love of good scones. Around here, we often like to get creative with our basic scone recipe (which came from a dusty old copy of Joy of Cooking.) A few of our favorite seasonal scones are Cranberry Orange Scones and Apple Oatmeal with Maple Glaze. […]

Truth: I am not the best cookie baker in our house Truth: I am not the best cookie baker in our house. It is hands down @friar_stuck — Today he added a pinch of fresh orange zest to Oatmeal Scotchies and they taste just like childhood.

My grandma used to make these and serve them to me on a pink plate with a small glass of sprite with ice. At 39, I now realize two things— 1. She would have adored my husband and 2. these cookies go best with coffee or tea.

What cookie makes you feel eight years old again?
There’s something unusually long about the winte There’s something unusually long about the winter months when we’re in a season of slow growth and imperceptible change.

The landscape outside your window TODAY can feel like it’s your landscape forever but it’s actually not.

If the view from where you stand looks rather bleak and not at all how you hoped, can I remind you to look up? 

These trees in my own backyard, captured this morning, last March, and last August, will continue changing in their own rhythmic way whether I’m watching them or not. There’s a comfort in that for me today— and perhaps for you.

Whatever looks slow and unmoving, with change almost too gradual to detect— is still very much in a pattern of forward transformation.

And these quiet days in the midst of our January-ness— we can be reminded that growth never really stops, especially in the hidden places.

This is the first complete weekend that we’ve been home since Thanksgiving. 😳 It sounds awful, especially for this homebody, but really what it means is, we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas with family, attended one beautiful family wedding (Hey, Shelby! 👋🏻❤️) one 90th Birthday party for our beloved Granny, and had a family trip. They were all such sparkly gifts. Ones I don’t take for granted and so very different from last year.

But I do love home— and am happy to spend the second half of the day right here with this book which I’m truly enjoying. 📚❤️

After years of having one pub and no church, they are *finally* getting a church tomorrow, thanks to FB marketplace. And all the people said, “Amen & Huzzah.” 2. We’re still keeping Christmas over here — Though we’re slowly bending towards back to normal. The tree still lives and we’re celebrating the tenth day of Christmas with a fire & coziness before we pull out the pencils tomorrow. And finally, 3. Everyday Affogato. You might need this tiny pick me-up in your life. One shot of hot espresso poured over a tiny serving of vanilla ice cream. Please and Thank you.✨ #merrymerrystuckeys

Nine squares is not sufficient to reflect the ways we’ve grown and changed, but it is a glimpse of the graces of the year behind us.

Not pictured: waking up to find our children taller and suddenly at our eye level, new laugh lines on our faces, sweltering pool days, fireplace dinners, Marco Polo chats with friends, family weddings & visits, mountain air breathed, books read, new jobs begun, school days, approximately 52 pizza nights, new rhythms & schedules, house repairs, car issues, and God always before us, behind us and within us. Soli deo Gloria. #thebestisyettocome

Do these Mince Pies make me look One-Quarter Briti Do these Mince Pies make me look One-Quarter British?

Truth be told, my grandma always used the jarred mincemeat and I wasn’t a fan as a child. Only last year did Lance and my Mom collaborate in the kitchen to try out homemade mincemeat filling and let me just say, we are never quitting these! 😍

The filling we use is from @bonappetitmag and it’s really good. It’s a gorgeous blend of apples, dried fruits (cherries, apricots, sultanas, figs, currants) with apple cider, spices, and a few other things. No meat, though.

Happy Christmas from the Jolly Old Stuckeys! 🇬🇧🎄❤️
