Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the frozen, grated butter and mix until crumbly.
Fold in the grated apple and cinnamon sweet bits.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Form the dough into a circle on a floured surface, about 1-inch thick, then cut into wedges.
Place the scones on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before drizzling with powdered sugar mixed with milk and cinnamon.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding some nuts or raisins to the dough.
Serve warm with a dollop of butter or your favorite jam.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
