Flaky, buttery and delicious, these Maple Glazed Pecan Apple Scones are perfect anytime of year.

Imagine sitting in your favorite chair with a nice cup of Earl Grey and one of these scones fresh out of the oven.  I can imagine it because that is how I enjoyed mine!

    This was a great recipe! I did modify a few things to enhance some of the flavors. First, I used granny smith apples so I decided to sauté them in some butter and cinnamon to soften them up prior to baking. I also toasted the pecans with some turbinado sugar. Instead of regular flour, I used bread flour, which helped hold everything together. The other modification was with the glaze. Since I didn't have any pure maple syrup, I used agave nectar, generic maple syrup, maple flavoring, browned butter, cracked sea salt, and powdered sugar. I drizzled this over the scones with additional toasted pecans. They were amazing! Thanks for this recipe, I'll be making these again!
