Gluten and Dairy Free Apple and Cinnamon Scones

serves / makes 12 mini scones

Description

I made these scones as part of my post on how to make a gluten and dairy free afternoon tea and I didn’t want to use strawberry jam as I already had a strawberry cheesecake. Instead I did a twist on the normal sultana scone using apple pieces dusted in cinnamon instead and topping with apple sauce and cream.

You can easily convert this recipe back into a ‘normal’ scone by removing the cinnamon and substituting the apple pieces with sultanas.

Enjoy!
