- 1 tsp vanilla extract (5g)
- 1 1/4 oat flour (150g)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Into a bowl, add apple sauce, soy milk, almond butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Add in the oat flour, almond flour, potato starch, sugar, baking powder and apple pie spice. Whisk a few times and then switch to sturdy spatula. Fold in apples and then mix until well combined. The dough should be thick and handle-able but not dry.
- Roll the dough into a ball and then flatten it onto the prepared baking sheet. Form a disk with the dough about 3/4 of an inch thick. Use a pastry scraper or sharp long knife and cut disk into 6 pieces. Carefully separate the pieces. To add a cinnamon sugar coating, combine 1 tbsp of sugar with 3/4 tsp of cinnamon. Brush the scones with extra soy milk and then sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top. Bake at 425 F for 17-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown and toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack, drizzle with some maple cashew cream if desired & enjoy!
