This Irish apple scone recipe reflects traditional Irish thriftiness, and also satisfies the typical Irish sweet tooth!
This dessert embodies the best of Ireland because it doesn’t use any expensive imported fruit as ingredients – just the simple apple, one of the few fruits that grows well in the Ireland climate.
Unlike other types of scones, the entire mixture is baked “in one piece” and then cut into sections after you remove it from the oven and sprinkle it with sugar.
