- •2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- •¼ cup brown sugar
- •4 teaspoons baking powder
- •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- •½ teaspoon salt
- •6 tablespoons frozen unsalted butter
- •1 cup whole buttermilk
- •1 large egg

- •½ cup confectioners' sugar
- •2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
- Quickly shred butter into the flour mixture. Using a fork, gently work butter into the flour until it is the consistency of coarse crumbs.
- Whisk buttermilk and egg together in a small bowl and pour over the flour mixture. Use a spatula to combine until just moist. Gently fold in chopped apples, using your hands if necessary, until it just comes together. Do not over mix the dough.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, divide in half, and pat each half into a 5-inch circle. Using a bench scraper or knife coated with cooking spray, cut into 6 wedges. Place wedges, not touching, on the prepared cookie sheet
- Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes.
- Whisk confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon together until a smooth glaze forms. Drizzle over scones and garnish with grated nutmeg.
