    Batter was VERY sticky! I added more flour to make it easier to work with. The scones came out more cake then scone, but they were very tasty! - 2/28/10

    I would love to make these for Easter brunch - can you make them a day ahead? Do you need to serve them warm? - 4/5/09

    I don't see why you can't make them a day ahead. I've made them several hours ahead & then just popped them in the oven for 5 minutes to warm them up. I personally think they taste better warm, but they're good cold too. My daughter won't eat them warm - she'll actually put hers in the fridge.

    These are wonderful! I've made them several times with the apples we picked this fall and they are just delicious. I used half white flour and half wheat flour but that was my only change. Everyone loved them! - 10/30/08

    Thank you! I adapted this recipe from one I found on Allrecipes.com. The first time I made that recipe, it was very dry & bland so I changed it. I use unbleached or whole wheat flour, too. I'm so glad you like them!

    I agree these are more like a muffin than traditional biscuit scone, but simply delicious. I needed to add 1/2 c. more flour, & I added golden raisins. I also glazed them with a powdered sugar glaze while still warm from oven. This recipe is a keeper! You could easily change it up with other dried f - 3/17/18

    I just tried these this morning and WOW!!! They are DELICIOUS! My two teenaged boys just loved them. This batch fit right into my mini-scone pan; 16 little 3x3x4 scones. They are more cake-like than biscuit-like...more like a muffin. - 4/3/14

    So awesome!!! I did do a few things differently I used skim milk, I made my own applesauce, and instead of shredding the apples I cut them up into little chunks. So good will most certainly make again!! - 5/23/12

    Very Good! I took the advice of another member and just diced the apple, which turned out great! - 4/17/10

    This recipe was delicious! Something I will make again. I think the only thing I will do differently is dice the apple so I can actually taste the little chunks of apple. - 3/8/10

    Very tasty. I used 1/2 whole wheat and half white flour, so they were filling. My teen will eat them for breakfast and they are much healthier than most "quick" breakfast choices. - 8/31/09
