Fall is here and so is Apple Week.  Get excited as I’ve partnered up with 40 of my blogger friends and some amazing sponsors to bring you over 200 recipes this week.

So if you love apples, you’re in the right place.

First up, these Apple Cinnamon Scones with Maple Butter.

For years I was so nervous to make scones because the only scones I had ever had were dry and not appetizing at all.  However, I am here to tell you super moist and delicious scones are super easy to make.

These Apple Cinnamon Scones with Maple Butter are nothing short of fabulous!  they’re bursting with chunks of delicious Envy Apples and cinnamon chips.  Spread on some maple butter and you have the epitome of Fall in one yummy scone.

I used Envy Apples for these apple cinnamon scones because they were gracious to send all of us #appleweek  bloggers a case of them.  And I am so glad they did.

We love apples and these Envy apples have climbed to the top of our favorite list of apples.  They’re crisp, delicious and sweet.

Taken from the Envy website, “Envy was born using natural plant-breeding methods, crossing Braeburn with Royal Gala apples, to take full advantage of New Zealand’s ideal growing conditions. The result is pure bliss.”

And bliss they truly are.

Make sure you enter the giveaway below because Envy is going to be giving away a gift card AND will send a lucky person they’re amazing apples.

I sprinkled the scones with maple sugar from  The Spice House.  While I was perusing their website I stumbled upon it and had to own it.  It’s ever bit of delicious as it sounds.

Tender, moist and bursting with apple cinnamon flavor, these Apple Cinnamon Scones with Maple Butter will become your new favorite Fall treat!
