Easy Apple Cinnamon Walnut Scones

By SewingDragonfly

I don't remember where this recipe came from but the person who posted it wrote...

"I made these up this morning when we were looking for a different flavour of scone for breakfast. I forgot to put sugar in the scones, so I sprinkled the top with Demerara Sugar - and I like them better that way! It adds a nice crunch on top. These are not your typical buttery scone - these are more of a hearty, healthy, and hold you till lunch kind of scone! If you don't have cinnamon chips, add a tbsp or two of brown sugar and increase the cinnamon to 1 tsp to compensate."

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup oatmeal, preferably large flake but quick oats will work
