Preheat oven to 400.

Begin by heating the diced apples, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar in a small saucepan over low-med heat. Allow the flavors to meld together by cooking for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
While the apples are cooking, in the bowl of a mixer, mix flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix briefly. With the mixture on low, drop in the cubes of butter one at a time. When the mixture resembles coarse crumbles, pour in the egg and heavy cream only mixing until just combined.
-
Pull the apples off the heat, and with a slotted spoon, spoon the apples into the dough. Mix until just combined.
-
On a floured surface, turn out the dough and pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut the dough into eighths, place on a greased baking sheet, and bake for 17-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
While cooking, in a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, syrup, and milk (one Tbsp at a time) until it reaches your desired consistency. I usually use 1 Tbsp of milk.
-
Allow the scones to cool for a couple of minutes and then pour on the icing.

Enjoy!
