Healthy Salted Caramel Apple Scones | VEGAN

Ingredients

• SCONES::
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• 1 medium red apple
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 2.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3 teaspoons cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1/2 cup apple sauce
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup Sucanat or coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ICING:
• Ingredients:
• 10 large medjool dates PITTED
• 2 tablespoons smooth almond butter
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1+ tablespoon non-dairy milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• MAKE FLAX EGG: stir together 1 tablespoon flax with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes until it forms a gel.
• Step One
• Dice one red apple and add to a small skillet with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and 2-3 tablespoons of water. Let these simmer into little bite-sized cinnamon apples while preparing the scone batter.
• Step Two
• In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and the other 2 teaspoons of cinnamon). Next, combine the almond milk, apple sauce, coconut oil, sugar, vanilla, and our “flax egg” in a saucepan and warm just until the coconut oil and sugar are dissolved.
• Step Three
• Carefully pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to gently combine. Also at this time, drain those cinnamon apple bits and add them into the batter as well. Be careful not to over-mix, as that will develop too much gluten and result in rubbery scones. This will be very thick, but you should be able to form it into one solid ball of dough. If not, add 1-2 teaspoons of almond milk and try again. (This should NOT be sticky).
• Step Four
• Lightly-flour a surface on your counter and roll the dough out until it’s about 1/2 inch thick. Then, use a sharp knife to cut these into triangles or any other shape you want. Dust the tops with cinnamon, then add to a parchment-lined baking tray for about 15 minutes, or until the tops just start to brown.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool before icing.
