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. […]

Hey There!

I'm Cynthia and I'm so glad you're here. I am an introvert with an extrovert's love of gathering people together. I love good books and capturing moments. Whether you visit me here or on my own front porch, I'll be the one holding the Iced Coffee for us both.

Throwing it back but not way back: remember last y Throwing it back but not way back: remember last year when we *discovered* the whipped, frothy, goodness of Dalgona Coffee?

I made it again today for the express purpose of seeing if it would still work with less sugar and I rather like my lightened up version!

(Tip: in my opinion, it makes enough for two— especially because I use instant espresso— so it’s pretty strong! Not warm where you are yet?  Tap the little flag to save this post for later.)

✨Whipped Coffee✨ 
2 TBS. instant espresso
2 TBS. cold water
1 TBS. maple syrup or simple syrup
1-2 glasses of ice and milk

Whip/ Beat the espresso, syrup, and water with an electric beater, immersion blender, or hand-held milk frother until frothy and light in color. Scoop over the milk and ice and enjoy!

Thank you, @thebarmyfox for bringing this lovely art into my life!
Joy is the courage of people who don’t have all Joy is the courage of people who don’t have all the answers, yet.

While you sit in a season of waiting,
the calendar can often be a cruel companion, reminding you that days go by, weeks, months— with what feels like very little change in the right direction.

Perhaps you can easily assent to: 
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick,

but you strain to see just how it will be when: “...a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” (Proverbs 13:12)

Wherever you and I are today— whether we wander, wait, stand firmly planted, or some pressed together combination of all three — we can take heart.

We are not alone.
And this will not be wasted.
What seems to be an unending blank space, an indefinite pause, is a space for new things.

Long before all is made right, and whether or not it all is tied up neatly with a perfectly crafted bow— we can know this:

We do not have to know the outcome to be faithful today.

✨Joy is not disregard for reality as much as it is obstinacy against despair.✨

So much so, that I’m starting a new little offering, it’s called “The Feast: Wonder for the Weary” and the first issue goes out this weekend. It’s a bit more personal (okay this first one is WAY more personal. 🤭) It will be a little bit of everything, all with the goal of offering REST to both the feasters & foragers alike. If you’re already a subscriber— no need to do anything, if not— click through my bio to “keep in touch” and join the feast.✨
We are a people of both lament and praise. We hol We are a people of both lament and praise.

We hold questions without answers— yet we hold them in hands already full of good things.

We hold our daily bread, our daily gifts, and we hold the daily closeness of the God Who Sees.

The God who is no stranger to our lament, and Who Is the reason for our every hope.
He does not grow weary of our asking. Of our need to be told again, He will. 

You friend, are not invisible.
You are seen and cared for by the God who does all things well. (Even when they feel anything but.)

On this chilly Saturday, we spent entirely too long browsing for books at our library and then all came home to a fire, mochas, and cocoa, respectively. Of all the things we do not know at this very moment, we know the gifts abound, and are worth counting.

PS, if you haven’t spread whipped cream on a foil-lined baking sheet to freeze, and then cut out cute shapes with cookie cutters to top your coffee or hot cocoa, may I suggest you get thee on that at once.

The prayer journal pictured here contains six months of the hard & the sweet.
Six months of prayers asked & answered for ourselves and for others.
Six months of seeing through prayer, not how it changed our circumstances necessarily but how it changed us.

I always appreciate a record like this— being able to clearly see the paths we are led down, rocky though they may be? Priceless.

The ways God has come near us & drawn us to Himself again and again are written on these pages and I’ll treasure it forever.

While scrolling through my photos today, my heart was heavy to realize how far back “before” was.

Before masks and distancing, before loss, before other, more personal bits of hard. Multitudinous change, neither all bad nor all good.

With our free time, we’ve introduced our girls to Tolkien, Bilbo, Frodo, and especially Samwise the Brave. They are officially hooked and we are delighted to watch them discover another world where evil doesn’t win, and the courage of the small matters much. {they close their eyes at the Orcs and we haven’t had a nightmare yet!}🤞🏻😂😬
