Apple Pecan Scones

Fall is my favorite time of year to bake all sorts of delicious apple recipes.  These apple pecan scones are perfect to make this time of year. Actually, these can be made all year long but they are definitely a favorite during the fall season at our house.

Flavorful and full of little apple chunks, these apple scones tastes great right out of the oven. Adding a bit of sweetness, with the glaze drizzled over the top, makes these scones even more delicious.  And with chopped pecans added, just makes them that much more scrumptious.

Scones With Apples and Pecans

Crunchy on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside, these scones are to die for. They are not too sweet and can easily be enjoyed without the added glaze. A delicious breakfast or brunch scones recipe everyone will enjoy.

A super thin drizzle of glaze is all you need for these delicious apple pecan scones. A simple mixture of powdered sugar and milk makes an easy glaze recipe that taste sweet and yummy.
