Apple Cinnamon scones

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons turbinado (raw cane) sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top
• ½ tablespoon stevia baking blend 
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon raw flax seed
• 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 cup diced apples (this was ¾  of a large red apple for me, leave the skin on)
• ¼  teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling on top
• ½ cup plain low fat Greek yogurt 
• ½ cup milk of choice (I used 2%), plus an extra splash

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, turbinado, stevia, salt, and flaxseed in a bowl and whisk together.
3. Slice butter and drop into dry ingredients use a knife to cut the butter into tiny pieces and mix it into the flour.
4. Add apples and cinnamon and gently stir. You may want to use more or less Cinnamon depending on your preference. 
5. Gently mix in milk and yogurt, I find this whole process works better with your hands at this point.
6. Add in an extra splash of milk to your dough to ensure it stay moist while baking.
7. Form dough into a circle about that’s about an inch deep all around. Sprinkle both sides of the dough circle with raw sugar and cinnamon, gently press into both sides. 
8. Cut the circle into 8 slices, like a pizza.
9. Separate slices and place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper or foil.
10. Bake for 15 minutes or until light brown.
