Tempting & scrumptious. Best eaten warm.
Pre-heat your oven to 180ºC, Gas mark 6.
In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, margarine, caster sugar & salt. Blend until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Add the chopped apples followed by the milk. Continue mixing until the mixture comes together & looks thoroughly moist. (Do not over mix)
Empty the mixture onto a floured work surface & sprinkle a little extra flour over the mixture to allow for rolling. Roll the mixture to a thickness of no less than 3cm.
Using a 7cm cutter (plain or fluted), cut out the scones & lay on a non stick baking sheet, leaving a 2cm gap between them. Allow to stand for 10 minutes to allow the baking powder to do its work & then bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 15 minutes or until light brown.
Transfer to a wired tray to allow to cool.
