British single-serving cakes in a savoury sweet version with apples and scamorza.
Ingredients
2 apples
200 g of spelt flour
30 g of sugar
7 g of baking powder
a pinch of salt
50 ml of oil
70 g of scamorza cheese
50 ml of fresh cream
2 eggs

Preheat the oven at 190°C. Peel the apples and cut them in sixteen slices. Place them in a tray covered with greaseproof paper and bake for about 20 minutes, until cooked and soft. Let them cool and keep the oven at 190°C.
Sift the flour and combine it with sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the oil while blending until you obtain a sandy mixture. Add the cooled apples, grated cheese, cream and one egg. Continue mixing until the dough is smooth. Don’t mix too much.
Sprinkle with flour a cutting board and put the floured dough on it. Spread it roughly until it is 1.5 cm high. Cut the dough into circles using a round cutter and adjust them separated in a tray covered with greaseproof paper. Brush with the other egg and bake the scones for about 30 minutes.
