1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup fresh apples, diced (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in diced apples until coated in flour.
In a separate bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla extract; pour into dry ingredients while mixing until just combined.
Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat into a circle about one inch thick, and cut into wedges or rounds.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
Once baked, allow to cool slightly before serving warm!
