Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well blended.
- Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently until the dough starts to come together.
- Gently fold in the chopped apricots, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough onto it. Knead the dough a few times to bring it together.
- Shape the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
- In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon to create the crumble topping.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the top of the scone dough.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges.
- Carefully transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Bake the scones for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy these delightful scones with a cup of tea or coffee.
