Favorite Fall Recipes: Apple Butter Scones

Scones are one of my favorite treats to prepare in the winter months. They are easy to make, very versatile based on what filling ingredients I have on hand and can be used for breakfast, a mid-day snack or even dessert! 

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite scone recipes: Apple Butter Scones. They are made from scratch, but not difficult! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
