Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, ¼ cup of sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently fold in the shredded apple and ½ cup of milk until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8-10 times. Divide the dough into two 6-inch circles and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons of milk, then sprinkle with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon. Score each circle into 6 wedge-shaped pieces.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown and fully risen. Serve warm and enjoy!
