Cranberry Apple Scones with vanilla glaze can be enjoyed for breakfast or a light snack! They’re yummy and ready to eat in under 30 minutes!

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE scones! They are wonderful to have for a quick breakfast, afternoon snack or treat, and I’ve been making them for years in multiple flavors!

Cranberry apple scones have great flavor and texture, and are actually quite simple to make. Fresh or frozen cranberries and your choice of apple can be used, which makes it a convenient recipe, too!

If you’ve never made scones before, there’s no need to worry about it! These are easy to make, and you’ll be a “scone master” before you know it! Here’s how to make cranberry apple scones.

Making The Dough For Cranberry Apple Scones

Mix flour, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl until combined. Add slices of COLD butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter in, until it becomes the size of peas.

Add the chopped fresh cranberries and peeled apples, and stir until they are combined with the flour mixture. NOTE: Frozen cranberries may be used, if thawed before chopping and adding.

Add the buttermilk to the scone mixture. Stir in the buttermilk ONLY until the ingredients have been combined.

Rolling Out The Dough For The Scones

Shape the dough into a ball, and place it on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle the dough with a tiny bit of flour. Roll the dough into an 8″ circle (¾” thick). Use your palms to shape the outer edge.

TIP: I’ve been known to use a tape measure to tell me how much more I need to roll the dough out. Hey… it works! Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

Cut the dough evenly into 8 pie-shaped wedges using a large knife (or pizza cutter!). Carefully transfer the scones onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Ready… Set… Bake!

When you put the scones onto the baking sheet, keep them in a circular shape. Leave a small amount of space (not too much!) between each of the slices.

Bake the scones at 400°F. for 12-15 minutes. Oven temperatures can vary, so check them, beginning at the 12 minute mark! When done, the scones should be lightly browned on top. A toothpick inserted into the thickest part of one should come out clean.

Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the scones cool to room temperature before adding the glaze.

Glazing The Cranberry Apple Scones

While the cranberry apple scones cool, make the vanilla glaze to drizzle on top. Measure powdered sugar, vanilla extract and warm water into a small bowl.

Stir well, until the glaze fully mixed and lump-free. Add a drop or two more water, if needed, to make the glaze a consistency that’s easy to drizzle.

Once the scones are at room temperature, drizzle the glaze over the top. I use a honey spreader or a fork to do this. Try to evenly distribute the glaze over the surface of the scones.

Time To Enjoy A Scone

Let the cranberry apple scones rest until the glaze has hardened. This usually only takes a few minutes, and then the scones are ready to be enjoyed. Slice through the scones to separate them from each other before serving.

Grab a hot cup of coffee or tea and one of the scones, then sit back and enjoy these delicious treats. I really think you’re going to like them!

I really hope you like this recipe for cranberry apple scones! They have great flavor, thanks to the cranberries and apples spread throughout the scones, and the sweet glaze on top.

Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, God bless, and have a GREAT day!

Grab some hot coffee, tea or a cold glass of milk… and enjoy these absolutely delicious chocolate caramel pecan scones, filled with milk chocolate chips, caramel and pecans, for a special treat at breakfast or a simple snack in the middle of the day!
I LOVE scones! Do you?  I’ve been making them for years, and have included many of my favorite recipes on my blog.

The scones I’ve made include Apple Cinnamon, Cinnamon Chip, White Chocolate Raspberry, Blackberry, Banana Nut, Chocolate Chip Orange, Lemon Cream, Gingerbread, Cranberry Orange, and several others.

When I saw a recipe recently for these chocolate caramel pecan scones, I just KNEW I wanted to try them… I couldn’t help myself!  I made a batch for Easter this year, and guess what? They are GOOD, and easy to prepare, even if you’ve never made scones before! Here’s how:

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Chocolate Caramel Pecan Scones

Preheat oven to 400 degrees before beginning.  Place parchment paper or a silicone mat onto a large cookie sheet.  Place flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl.  Cut VERY COLD butter into small chunks and add to the flour.

Cut the butter into the dry ingredients, using a pastry cutter (shown), or 2 forks, or by using your fingers to pinch the ingredients together. Do this until crumbs resemble small peas, and butter is incorporated into mixture. Add the egg and whipping cream to the bowl. Stir to combine.

Continue mixing with spoon or lightly knead the dough in the bowl (with clean hands) until a soft dough ball is formed. Add chocolate chips, caramel pieces, and chopped pecans (or walnuts) to dough.

Mix the chocolate chips, caramels and pecans gently into dough, until fully blended. Place the dough ball onto a lightly floured work surface, and form dough into a circle, by pressing down and shaping with hands.

Circle should be about 8-9 inches wide and about 2 inches high (approx.). Once formed, cut dough into 8 equal sized wedges using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.

Bake The Chocolate Caramel Pecan Scones

Place wedges onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet (or onto a silicone mat). Place them in a circle, but separate each piece slightly from the others (as shown below). Bake at 400 degrees for 18-10 minutes (check them at 18 minutes- mine were done!).  The scones should be golden brown.

Remove baking sheet from oven. Let scones rest for a couple minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Ready To Serve!

Let the scones cool to room temperature so the chocolate can firm up. Transfer to a serving platter, serve and enjoy!

See all that chocolate, caramel, and pecan yumminess? Yep. These scones are GOOD! Make sure to store any leftover scones in an airtight container, or wrap them really well in plastic wrap.

Now all that’s left to do is grab a cold glass of milk, or a hot mug of tea or coffee, and enjoy a tasty treat!  Be sure to check out ALL of my recipes in the Recipe Index, located at the top of the page. Have a great day!

Delicious blackberry scones are easy to make, using frozen blackberries! The scones are absolutely perfect for a simple breakfast or afternoon snack.
Anyone who knows me well, knows I love a good scone… and I sure do love these yummy Blackberry Scones for breakfast or an afternoon snack!

Blackberries grow wild all over the beautiful Pacific Northwest.  We have a forest park behind our home and the blackberry vines creep over our back fence (until we madly hack them back each Fall!). 

This summer we have a bumper crop of blackberries, free for the taking, and so it is a perfect scenario for making blackberry scones!

I’ve been picking berries every other day, and get about a quart of berries each time.  I’ve already used them to make  a Blackberry Cobbler, a Berry and Orange Spinach Salad, and  Blackberry Pie Bars, so now I’m making blackberry scones, and have saved a bunch more to make jam. Yeehaw!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

These scones are very easy to prepare; the method used is similar to my other scone recipes on this blog.  For this particular recipe, it is important to use frozen blackberries, because blackberries are really juicy and if not frozen, they will “leak” juice all over the scones while mixing and baking. 

Here’s how to make them (there’s a printable recipe card at the bottom of this post):

How To Make Blackberry Scones

First, preheat your oven to 400° F.  In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder and salt.  Cut up COLD butter into small chunks and add to flour mixture.

Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until the butter has been reduced to the size of small peas. 

You can also do this in a food processor, if desired.  Add sugar to the bowl, and stir to combine. Set this mixture aside.

In a separate bowl, add heavy whipping cream, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk together until blended.  Set aside.

Add frozen blackberries to flour mixture. Toss gently to lightly coat the berries with flour.

Pour the whisked whipping cream/egg mixture into the flour mixture.  Stir gently to mix. Your dough will be fairly sticky.

Please note that the frozen berries will begin to thaw very quickly, so do this step quickly, but gently.  

Shape And Cut The Scones

Once mixed, place the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough VERY LIGHTLY 3-4 times to ensure the dough comes together in a ball. 

Shape dough into an 8 inch circle using your clean hands. The dough should be about 1½ inches high. 

Cut the blackberry scones into 8 wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. I use a pizza cutter- easy, and works like a charm!

Bake The Blackberry Scones

Place the scones onto an ungreased baking sheet in a circle.  I leave a little space between each wedge. If desired, sprinkle tops with sugar (optional).

Bake the scones in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20-22 minutes. They are done when the tops are light golden brown in color and they are “set” in the middle.

Time To Eat Some Blackberry Scones!

When the blackberry scones have finished baking, let them cool on the baking sheet for several minutes. Once cooled, separate them and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.  That’s it!

I hope you enjoy these tasty blackberry scones for breakfast, or for an afternoon treat with some tea, coffee, or a big cold glass of milk! They are delicious!

Thanks for taking time to look at this recipe!  I am thankful to Roberta Reynolds for this delicious recipe, and hope you give it a try (and give my other scone recipes a look, too!).

Have a wonderful day, friends… be kind and encouraging to others out there in the big ol’ world. It can really make a positive difference in someones day!

Make 8 outrageously delicious lemon cream scones with lemon glaze icing in 30 minutes, with this quick and easy breakfast or snack recipe!

My sister told me about a delicious scone recipe she recently tried. Turns out it was the same recipe I had saved on Pinterest several months before and wanted to try, so I did!  Wow – I was really glad I made them… these Lemon Cream Scones are fantastic!

The lemon cream scones taste amazing! They are NOT dry (thankfully!), and get their delicious flavor from lemon zest IN the scones, and a lemon flavored glaze ON TOP!  They are very easy to make, in about 30 minutes from start to finish.

Other Scone Recipes On This Blog – I LOVE Scones!

Do YOU love scones? We sure do, in our home! They’re very easy to make, and cost so much less to make at home than buying from the local coffee hangout. Nothing better than a hot cup of coffee and a wonderful tasting scone! YUM.

I’ve published recipes for quite a few, including Apple Cinnamon, Cinnamon Chip, White Chocolate Raspberry, Blackberry, Banana Nut, Chocolate Chip Orange, Gingerbread, and Cranberry Orange.

How To Make Lemon Cream Scones

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.  Mix together the sugar and lemon zest in a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the sugar/lemon zest mixture until well combined.

Grate a cube of butter that has been frozen (freeze for 15 minutes before starting) directly into the bowl with the flour, etc..  Use a pastry blender to mix until the flour mixture resembles coarse crumbs. TIP: If you don’t own a hand held pastry blender, two forks can be used. The grated frozen butter looks a LOT like grated cheese, right?

Once the dough mixture is the size of coarse crumbs, mix an egg and heavy whipping cream together in a separate bowl.

Add The Wet Ingredients To The Dry Ingredients

When it is fully blended, pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, and stir until ingredients are combined. This may take a minute or two. Just keep at it, scraping down the sides of the bowl as you go, to incorporate all the crumbles.

Shape The Dough To Make The Lemon Cream Scones

Shape the lemon cream scones dough with your hands into a round ball. I did this in the same bowl I mixed the dough in. Once the dough ball is formed, place it onto a lightly floured work surface.

Roll the dough for the scones out into a 7 inch circle (dough will be about 3/4 inch tall). Cut it into 8 wedges. You can use a pizza cutter to make smooth even cuts, but a sharp knife works just as well.

Can you see the little pieces of lemon zest in the dough? That adds great citrus FLAVOR to the yummy scones!

Bake The Lemon Cream Scones

Place the wedges onto a parchment paper covered baking sheet. Leave a bit of space between each wedge. Bake the lemon cream scones in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove scones from oven, once done. The scones should be a light golden brown in color.

Let the lemon cream scones cool for a moment, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Prepare The Lemon Glaze

While cooling, prepare the lemon glaze in a small bowl, by mixing together powdered sugar, fresh squeezed lemon juice, melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.

Glaze The Scones

Once scones have cooled a bit, brush the lemon glaze over the top of each one. Use ALL the glaze! HELPFUL TIP: If you put a piece of foil or wax paper UNDER the rack, you will catch any glaze that drips off the scones (for easy cleanup!).

Let a bit of the glaze run down the sides of the scones. YUM!  Once all the glaze has been distributed, let the scones rest a few minutes in order to let the lemon glaze firm up.

Once the lemon glaze hardens, they are good to go! Don’t these lemon cream scones look GOOD? Wait until you taste them!

We REALLY loved these scones… I hope you do, too!  Be sure to check out my other scone recipes (located in my Recipe Index at top of page). I think you will LOVE them! Have a great day, friends.

Making Scones From Scratch Will Save You Money

I love making scones, because they are a wonderful breakfast treat or afternoon snack, especially with a good cup of coffee or tea. Scones are made often in our home, because they are so delicious, quick, and easy to prepare. By making cranberry orange scones at home, I can save lots of money by NOT buying them at a coffee house. Have you seen how much ONE scone costs nowadays?

This recipe makes 8 scones, and is budget friendly. The cranberry orange scones freeze well, so you can have one any time you want, for a fraction of the cost of BUYING 8 scones! By making them at home from scratch, I also can know exactly what is in them! THAT is another winning combination, in my humble opinion!

If you would like to see pictures of the “process” of how to make scones, I would invite you to view my post for Chocolate Chip Orange Scones, which I posted last year, for pictures of the “how-to’s”.

It is very detailed and will show you how simple it is to make scones, step by step! Follow the pictures for the process, and you’ll be a master scone baker, making these delicious cranberry orange scones in NO time! This recipe for Cranberry-Orange Scones is very similar, and follows the same process. I simply didn’t take any pictures (except the finished product) while making this particular scone.

All that said, these Cranberry-Orange Scones are DELICIOUS, and I sure hope you will give them a try! You’re gonna LOVE them!

Ingredients

For Scones:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 cube) unsalted butter, very cold
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel (finely grated; I use a micro-plane zester)
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1 egg white + 1/2 tsp. water

For Glaze:

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (can always add more if you need extra)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon orange extract (I use it for enhanced flavor, but optional)
• 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
• 3-4 teaspoons orange juice (to make glaze painting consistency)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  In a food processor (or cut in by hand with a pastry blender in a large bowl), mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and chilled butter together until well combined.

2. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, orange juice, vanilla, and grated orange peel. Add egg mixture to the flour mixture; combine till fully blended. Stir in dried cranberries until fully incorporated into dough.

3. Pour the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough with floured hands until the dough comes together...(continue to sprinkle the dough and surface with additional flour as needed, as dough is usually fairly "sticky"-I usually do this 3-4 times).

4. Shape dough into an 8" circle with your hands. Using a pizza cutter or very sharp knife, cut the scones into 8 equal-sized wedges.  Mix the egg white and water together in small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the scones with this mixture.

5. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place wedges on baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes (mine are usually ready at the 20 minute mark), or until golden brown on top. When done, remove scones from oven to a wire rack, with foil or parchment paper underneath.

6. When scones have cooled, "paint" the glaze on with a pastry brush (glaze is made by mixing up the ingredients listed, in a small bowl). Completely cover the tops of the scones with the glaze. Let scones cool until glaze has hardened. ENJOY!

Make 16 absolutely delicious Cinnamon Chip Scones in under 30 minutes for a fraction of the cost of buying them at a coffeehouse! They freeze well, too!

Do you like the flavor of cinnamon? Do you like to eat scones? Want to make fantastic tasting Cinnamon Chip Scones for breakfast or to snack on any other time???  Well, look no further, because this is the most delicious scone recipe you will ever want!

I’m so happy to share this recipe for amazing tasting cinnamon chip scones. They are soooo yummy! I recently bought a bag of cinnamon chips at the grocery store. Sometimes the chips are seasonal (not in stores), but they can be ordered online. I’d never bought this kind of baking chip before, but remembered seeing a scone recipe that used cinnamon chips, featured on Taste of Home, thought they sounded delicious, so decided to give it a try.

My husband said after tasting one that before he tried one he wasn’t sure he was going to like them, but after tasting one (or two ☺) decided they are awesome! I sure hope you will give these cinnamon chip scones a try. WAY LESS EXPENSIVE than paying for the same quantity at your local coffeehouse. They are absolutely EASY AND DELICIOUS!

How To Make Cinnamon Chip Scones

First, add COLD butter to the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. I cut it into small pieces to allow it to mix in faster.

Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until mixture has been reduced to coarse crumbs.

Add the buttermilk and blend until the scone dough is moistened.

Add The Cinnamon Chips

Now you’re ready to add the cinnamon chips. Gently fold in until well distributed throughout the scone dough. TIP: Sometimes cinnamon chips are only available during the holidays, so grab them while you can, and stock up!

This is what the dough for the cinnamon chip scones will look like, once mixed together.

Shape the Dough

Sprinkle the dough lightly with flour. Knead the dough gently 10-12 times on a lightly floured surface, until the dough is no longer sticky.

Divide the dough in half, and shape each half into a 7 inch circle. Brush the top of the scones with melted butter and then sprinkle the surface with granulated sugar.

Bake The Cinnamon Chip Scones

Place wedges onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake them in the oven for about 13-15 minutes, or until they have become lightly browned. I love making scones and could tell just from the amazing aroma coming out of my oven as they were baking that I would LOVE these, too. I was right, because they are so yummy.

Remove scones to wire rack to cool. Prepare the sweet glaze and then lightly “paint” it onto the top of each scone with a pastry brush. Let the glaze harden, then serve.

Serve… And ENJOY These Tasty Cinnamon Chip Scones!

Cinnamon chip scones go perfectly with a morning cup of coffee! They are soft on the inside, and they are FILLED with delicious cinnamon flavor! I really believe you will absolutely LOVE these cinnamon chip scones.

The recipe makes 16 medium sized scones, so I put half of them in my freezer for another time. Wrap them well, then store them in an airtight container until you’re craving them again! How perfect is that???

Blueberry scones, studded with plump juicy blueberries, and topped with a tangy sweet lemon glaze, are sure to be a hit for breakfast or snack time!

I love to make and serve scones, including these Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze! A great tasting homemade scone is, in my humble opinion, a lovely little bite of “goodness”, when served with a good strong cup of coffee or tea on the side!

Do you like blueberries? We sure do! Every summer I pick blueberries at a local berry farm. I even have a couple blueberry bushes in my backyard that add to the haul!

I like to pick a lot of blueberries (usually about 15-20 pounds) to freeze and enjoy all year long. Then, when I see a great recipe (like this one for blueberry scones) using this delicious fruit, I just raid my freezer. It’s pretty convenient!

How I Got This Recipe For Blueberry Scones With Lemon Glaze

I didn’t get any pictures of the process of making this particular batch of blueberry scones (my bad). However, you might like this link to my Chocolate Chip Orange Scones recipe that shows (in pictures) the process I typically use to make scones. It might be helpful to you, if you’ve never made scones before.

Servings: 8 servings

Calories Per Serving: 369 kcal

Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Ingredients

For the scones:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 Tablespoon granulated sugar
• 5 Tablespoons butter , very cold and cut into small chunks
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

For the lemon glaze:

• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup confectioner's sugar (powdered), sifted
• 1/2 Tablespoon finely grated lemon zest (I use a micro-plane zester)
• 1/2 Tablespoon butter

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. (If using a food processor, add the sifted dry ingredients to the processor and pulse in the chunks of cold butter.) If mixing by hand, cut in the butter using a pastry blender, then follow rest of directions.
3. Pour the heavy cream into and pulse in food processor 2-3 times (or stir if making by hand) until cream has been fully incorporated. If the dough appears to be a bit dry, add and extra 2-3 Tablespoons of whipping cream or cold water. Make sure you don't overwork the dough.
4. Remove the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle and lightly press in the blueberries, folding the dough over itself. Once blueberries have been added, form the dough into a 8-9 inch circle.
5. Cut the dough circle into 8 wedges. Place the cut scones onto an ungreased baking sheet (Just re-form the circle, but leave about 1/2 in between each wedge). Using a pastry brush, brush a slight bit of whipping cream over the entire top of the scone. Bake at 400 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
6. While scones are cooling, mix up the lemon glaze. To do this: Mix the lemon juice and powdered sugar in a small microwave safe bowl until sugar has dissolved. Add in the lemon zest and the butter. Microwave this for approximately 30 seconds, then whisk again until smooth. Brush the glaze all over the tops of the scones, and let cool so the icing will firm up. Grab one... and a cup of coffee, and enjoy!
