2 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup rolled oats

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

1 large apple, peeled, cored and chopped

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup honey

Topping

2 tbsp rolled oats

1 tbsp turbinado sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbsp milk 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Cut in the butter using two knives or a pastry blender. In another small bowl, combine the milk, honey and chopped apples. Add the apple mixture to the flour mixture and toss. 

Turn dough out onto a floured surface and form dough into a 9-10" disk, and about 1/2 inch thick. Place dough onto the prepared baking sheet and cut into 8 wedges, and separate them by about 1 inch. 

To top the scones, combine the 2 tbsp rolled oats, 1 tbsp turbinado sugar, ad 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Brush the scones with the 2 tbsp milk from the topping ingredients and sprinkle with the oat mixture. Bake 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until nice and golden brown.
