Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a baking sheet for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the apples and 6 tablespoons of brown sugar. Gradually add 1/2 cup of milk, mixing until just combined into a soft dough.
On the prepared baking sheet, gently press the dough into a 6- to 7-inch round. Brush the top with 1 tablespoon of milk and sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Score the round into 8 segments, being careful not to cut all the way through the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven until the scones are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 1 hour.
