Notes

Keep the butter cold for the best scone texture.
Use finely diced apple so the pieces soften evenly during baking.
Do not overmix the dough once the wet ingredients are added.
The scones will be delicate when hot, so let them cool before moving.
For a stronger spice flavor, use apple pie spice instead of cinnamon.
Drizzle the caramel shortly before serving for the best glossy finish.
