Apricot Walnut Scones with Maple Glaze

These Apricot Walnut Scones with Maple Glaze have a delightfully crispy crust with a tender, buttery inside packed with apricots and walnuts.

Spricot Walnut Scones with Maple Glaze

It’s funny how things change. When I was a little girl, I used to question why on earth my grandmother loved a scone or tea biscuit with her morning tea. I would just turn up my nose and grab the closest overly sweet donut like most kids do. Frankly, I don’t think I gave them much of a chance back then. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to absolutely love this little English breakfast treat, and regret all the years I missed enjoying them.

Apricot Walnut Scones with Maple Glaze

Well, let’s just say I’ve been making up for lost time. Now, I make a new flavor whenever I get the chance. That’s what’s so much fun about scones. There can be so many variations. During the summer I like to include fresh in season fruit in my scones, and during the fall and winter I usually lean towards nuts and dried fruit. I love the delightful crisp crust, and the nice tender, buttery and not overly sweet inside of a scone. Today’s flavor, Apricot Walnut Scones with Maple Glaze will not disappoint. If apricots and walnuts aren’t your thing, feel free to substitute your favorite dried fruit and nut. Maybe cranberries and pistachios? Whatever you fancy, it’s up to you!

I hope you enjoy these scones with your morning cup of tea or coffee as much as I do friends! Enjoy your week, and take some time and try to remember the foods that bring back special memories for you. The holidays will be here soon, and it’s the perfect time to share those memories with your family and friends!

    Lol! When I was a little girl I probably would have thrown the scone at you if you tried to get me to eat one! Now, I am exactly like you.. love them and regret how foolish I was as a wee-chitlin. These look divine, Mary Ann! I looove the Apricot Walnut pairing! And that Maple Glaze just looks so delicious I want to drink it by the cupful! Pinned! Cheers, lovely! <3

    I didn’t warm up to scones until later in life either… I guess, as a kid, they just weren’t sweet enough? I’m with you on the variations of scones. Mixin it up IS the fun of them. I think one of my favorites, and as simple as they are, is lemon poppyseed. But quite frankly, I’m not picky when it comes to a good creme scone! Delicious, Mary Ann and I love that glaze!

    I don’t think people appreciate scones enough. They’re such a great breakfast treat – tender and flaky and not so overly sweet. Love the apricot and walnut flavor – a little sweetness and a little crunch. Love the glaze too, Mary Ann!

    I was such a picky eater when I was a child and student. I didn’t get into food until I came to the United States . Your scones look delicious with the mable glaze, perfect for afternoon tea.

    Scones are looked upon as dry slabs of cement! But when done right, they are buttery and tender, exactly like the ones you posted today. Pinned!

    I also wasn’t very fond of scones as a child. I thought they were dry and bland. (I probably had a terrible batch.) Oh how things have changed! Now, I absolutely love them! :) Love the combination of apricot walnut with maple. It sounds lovely.
