Apple Crumble Scones; AKA a bit of heaven!
Britny Fritts is a Mommy of 2, wife to 1 and lover of God.
A self-proclaimed “foodie” she enjoys reading food blogs, cook books and searching for the best local eats.
She is an occasional runner,which is necessary
when there is so much good food in the world...
When not covered in flour and drowning in laundry,
multiplication tables and coupon clipping...
you will find her sipping on a vanilla latte with her BFF,
who also happens to be her husband of over 11 years.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!!! Well...at least for me :) Nope I am not talking Christmas, Winter Wonderlands or Jolly Holidays. (Although if you are jonesing for some tinsel and stockings I am pretty sure Tarjay would love to hook you up!) I am talking FALL..Wonderful. Glorious. Fall, or maybe Autumn for you sophisticated Mamas! There is just something so comforting when the leaves begin to change, the morning air is crisp and I can change my Mommy uniform from yoga capris and tanks to yoga pants and hoodies! This is also the time of year that I lurveeee to bake. Ok, so maybe I lurveee to bake even when it is 100 degrees outside, but it is true that the Fall has a great flavor palate to work with. I also really enjoy a good scone. I really really enjoy a good scone and coffee. I really really really enjoy a good scone and coffee especially on a rainy Fall day. For the love of the season, I challenge you to bake yourself a treat, kick back with your morning joe and taste the delight of Fall in an Apple Crumble Scone!

1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter (cold)
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
2 Medium Apples (peeled and chopped into small chunks)
1 Tbsp. Sugar
