Glazed Apple, Cinnamon and Buttermilk Scones

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 1/2 cups flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and sea salt.

3. Add the cubed butter, and using either a pastry blender, two forks or a food processor, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, mix together the apple ingredients until apples are fully coated.

5. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, applesauce, and buttermilk. Add apple mixture and stir until combined.

6. Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients until just moistened.

7. Dust your kneading surface (cutting board, etc.) with extra flour.

8. Turn the dough onto the floured surface and knead until it comes together. If it is still too wet, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour on it at a time and knead in.

9. Divide the dough in half. Pat each half into a large circle. Cut each into about 8 to 10 wedges, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. If the dough is warm, chill it in the fridge for about 10 minutes before baking.

10. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Scones should bounce back when touched.

11. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

12. While cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.

13. Drizzle glaze over fresh scones and serve.
