Apple, Cinnamon& Walnut Scones
I can never get enough of healthy scones, the perfect breakfast or snack on the go. They also make you feel satisfied which many healthy snacks lack. These can be eaten alone, without any spreads or jams as they have a lot going on with the natural sweetness from the apple and a little bit of bite from the walnuts. I substituted pear one of the days and it was equally as nice so I would recommend trying that also!
