• 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
6. Fold in the diced apple and chopped almonds.
7. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a circle or rectangle, about 1 inch thick.
8. Brush the top of the dough with maple syrup for a glossy finish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Remove from the oven and let the scones cool slightly before serving.
11. Serve warm and enjoy!
