2 1/2 cups All purpose flour. I actually used a whole wheat flour in mine - you could do a 1/2 and 1/2 combo if you like
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, plus a little more for sprinkling on top
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
7 tablespoons chilled, unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/2 cup dried apples - finely chopped
1/4 cup crystalized ginger - finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon good vanilla extract

1
Finely chop the dried apples and ginger pieces by pulsing them a few times in a food processor, or by hand, and place in a large mixing bowl.
2
Mix together all the dry ingredients in a food processor and pulse it a few times to combine them well.
3
Add the butter pieces to the dry ingredients and pulse to incorporate. You want nice, crumbly bits. If there are a few larger lumps of butter left, that's fine - work them in with your fingers.
4
In a measuring cup - whisk together the egg, vanilla and cream until well blended.
5
Add the flour and butter mixture to the apples and ginger and mix well.
6
Add the cream and egg mixture to the dry ingredients and incorporate. Don't over mix it, you just want it to come together.
7
Turn the mixture out onto a floured surface and work it into a dough - it will be sticky. Form it into a round loaf about 2 inches thick, and using a knife or dough scraper, cut the loaf into 8 equal slices like a pie.
8
Place the scones on a plate and set it in the freezer. Once frozen, put the frozen raw scones in a freezer bag until ready to bake.
9
When ready to bake - brush the scones with some heavy cream and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake at 425' for about 20-25 minutes.
