We had a large carrier bag of apples

given by our neighbours from their tree -

- so i`ve been trying to use them and i did some baking

yesterday and made use of the oven while

it was on . I`ve been making scones recently - so i

used that recipe ..

Folded apple scones -

Peel , core 3 small apples and cook with a little water

and sugar in the microwave - i added fresh nutmeg -

but cinnamon goes well with apples too

-while that`s cooking -

Put 8oz S.R flour , pinch salt , tblsp sugar in

a bowl and rub in 3oz butter until like breadcrumbs -

then add milk to bind and knead for a minute .

Cut dough into 4 pieces

Roll out into a rough square

Place cooked apples in center

Fold over corners as shown -

milk dabbed onto corners to stick together .

Onto a greased baking sheet - glaze with milk

oven - 200F for approx 15 mins

Here they are - puffed out and golden -

Serve on their own , dust with icing sugar

cream / ice cream and enjoy !!

Alternatively -

add half a small tub of chopped glace cherries

and cut out - or omit the sugar and add 3oz mature

grated cheese - these are my cheese scones -

Yummy !! ;o)
