Scones are a type of sweet bread roll originating from the United Kingdom, particularly associated with Scotland and England. Traditionally, scones were served with tea in the afternoon, forming an essential part of the famous "tea time." In Latin America, although they do not have an exclusive name, they are known and enjoyed in various regional variants, often adapted with local ingredients. For example, in some countries they are simply called "buns" or "sweet bread rolls," while in others they are fused with flavors typical of the area, such as the use of local fruits or spices. Their texture is soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, making them perfect to accompany with butter, jams, or honey.
Apple scones combine the British tradition with the fresh and juicy flavor of the apple, offering a delicious and aromatic option. This recipe is ideal to enjoy for breakfast or a snack, providing a sweet and natural touch to the palate.
