Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Spray cookie sheet with
nonstick cooking spray. In medium bowl, combine
flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well. With
pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture
resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in apple and ginger.

2. Beat egg in small bowl. Add cream and lemon
peel; blend well. Add to dry ingredients; stir just
until moistened.

3. On floured surface, gently knead dough 5 or 6
times. Place dough on sprayed cookie sheet; press
to form 8-inch round, about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8
wedges; separate wedges slightly.

4. Bake at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until light
golden brown and center is set.

5. In small bowl, blend powdered sugar and lemon
juice until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm scones.
