| 250 g | Peeled and Grated Apples (Granny Smith or other sweet apple with some acidity) | 2 medium |
| 80 g | Chopped Pecan Nuts | 0.7 cups |
| 10 ml | Vanilla Essence | 2 tsp |

Method
Combine Laucke CWA Scone Mix, cinnamon, vanilla essence and water. Country Women know that excellent scones require more moisture and kneading than is common practice.
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Knead the dough vigorously until soft, smooth and sticky and you will be rewarded with softer, moister scones that stay fresher, longer. This is easily achieved in a Mixer with a K type dough hook, mixing for 3 minutes at medium speed.
When kneaded, mix in the apple & half the chop the nuts
Leave to rest for 5 minutes then divide into two greased tins 24 x 7cm and press the remainder of nuts on top.
Leave for another 5 minutes then bake at 200°C (fan forced) for 30 mins. Brush tops with butter & sprinkle with sugar & cinnamon
Helpful Hints
