Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ cup sourdough discard
⅓ cup Greek yogurt plain
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 medium apple

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and chop apple into small pieces. There is no need to peel the apple and as a bonus the skin adds extra nutrients. Set aside.
Add flour, baking powder and cinnamon to a large bowl. Mix well.
Add sourdough discard, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, milk and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix with a large spoon until the flour starts to incorporate into the mixture.
Add the chopped apples. Use your hands to continue mixing the dough until a ball of dough forms and the flour is completely mixed in.
Place a piece of parchment paper onto a large cutting surface. Gently shape the ball of dough into a flat round disc around ½ inch thickness and place onto parchment paper.
Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut dough into eight slices just like slicing a pizza.
Place dough triangles onto prepared baking pan.
Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the tops of the scones turn golden brown. Remove pan from oven and let the scones cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 8 scones.

Notes

Make sure the sourdough discard is at room temperature because it will be easier to mix into the dough.

Make sure to use parchment paper when slicing the dough into triangles and on the baking pan because the dough will stick. The parchment paper also makes cleanup a breeze!
