Fruity Spiced Swirls
Warm, comforting, and irresistibly delicious, these apple and raisin spiced scones are a delightful treat to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee. A heavenly mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, demerara sugar, butter, apples, and raisins creates a delectably sweet and spiced filling that perfectly complements the light and fluffy scone dough. Baked to golden perfection, these scones are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, perhaps with an extra dab of butter for an extra indulgent touch. A delightful pastry option for a cozy morning or a delightful afternoon snack.

Ingredients
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3 tbsp demerara sugar
- 4 tbsp soft butter
- 1 eating apple , peeled and finely chopped
- 85g raisins
- 350g self-raising flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 85g cold butter , cut into cubes
- 4 tbsp golden caster sugar
- 150g pot natural full-fat yogurt
- 4 tbsp full-fat milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk, to glaze
Instructions
- Beat ½ tsp of each spice and 2 tbsp demerara into the butter, then stir in the apple and raisins. Mix the remaining spices in with the flour.
- Put the flour mixture, salt and baking powder into a food processor, then whizz in the butter until it disappears. Pulse in the sugar, tip into a large bowl, then make a well in the middle. Warm the yogurt, milk and vanilla together in the microwave for 1 min or in a pan; it should be hot and may well go a bit lumpy-looking. Tip into the bowl and quickly work into the flour mix using a cutlery knife. As soon as it's all in, stop.
- Put a flat baking sheet in the oven at 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, then roll to about 40 x 30cm. Spread with the fruity butter, then roll up from the long side, tucking the ends over neatly. Cut into 10 triangles. Brush with egg wash and scatter with 1 tbsp demerara. Flour the baking sheet, then bake for 14 mins until golden and risen. Eat warm, with more butter if you dare.
