Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
-
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the brown sugar.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped pecans.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
-
Cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
