These make some bigundo, tasty, tender scones that are super quick and fun to experiment with. They are very cakey, almost like large cookies, so a cup of tea is definitely in order. I made 1/4 of the recipe with chopped Granny Smith apples, 1/4 with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top, and 1/2 with chopped almonds and a tablespoon of amaretto. I liked the varieties in that order. In the future I would shape them smaller by half and try more different ingredient combinations, as suggested by allrecipes.com bakers and by my available ingredients.

Ideas: more apple bits crammed in there, as much as the dough can take; different fruits: peaches, dates, pear, apricot, berries; orange and lemon juice and zest; poppy seeds; chocolate chips; pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice; currants, cranberries; desserted up with glaze or as a base for shortcake
