For best results, use very cold butter. You can even freeze the butter for 10 minutes before cutting it in. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing will result in tough scones. Feel free to experiment with different types of apples, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. You can add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough for extra flavor and texture. For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk. These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the oven or microwave before serving.
