Delectable apple, sultana and cinnamon scones

Scones have long been an ideal afternoon tea snack but most people usually head straight for the plain or pumpkin versions, leaving so many different flavours untried. This mix of apple, sultana, and cinnamon makes for one of the best scone recipes you’ll ever try.

It’s perfect with a little bit of butter or of course the classic scone addition, a dollop of cream paired with fruity jam. While they’re best enjoyed still warm and fresh from the oven, they will still taste absolutely delicious after being stored in an airtight container over a few days. Enjoy!
