Apple Butter Apple Cinnamon Scones

These don't look very pretty, but they taste great.

1/2 cup half and half plus additional for brushing the scones
1 egg beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/2 apple chopped
2 tb apple butter
turbinado sugar for sprinkling the scones

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

In a smal bowl, whisk together the half and half, egg, and vanilla. In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients. I did this by hand, pinching the cold butter against the flour until the mixture resembled coarse meal. With a rubber spatula, mix in the liquid ingredients until a dough forms.

Turn the dough out on a floured surface, spread the apple butter and apple chunks on top of it, and knead them in. Knead for about 30 seconds, then form the dough into a round about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 10-12 pieces. Brush with half and half, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
