Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 Teaspoon Salt -- optional
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/3 Cup Margarine -- chilled
2/3 Cup Wheat germ
1 1/4 Cups Apples -- finely chopped
2 Teaspoons Baking powder
(1 large apple)
1 Tsp Ground cinnamon
1/2 c Skim milk
1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
1/4 c Honey
1/4 tsp Baking soda
-----TOPPING-----
1 tbsp Wheat germ
1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
1 tbsp Sugar

Heat oven 400 degrees. Lightly spray large cookie sheet with nonstick
cooking spray or grease lightly. Handle the dough gently. Over mixing
scones can make them tough. Combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder,
spices, baking soda and salt (if using). Cut in margarine until mixture
resembles coarse crumbs. Add combined apple, milk and honey, mixing just
until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto lightly floured
surface; knead gently 5 to 6 times. Pat dough into 9-inch circle. Mix
together topping ingredients. Sprinkle over dough. Cut dough into 10
wedges. Place 1/2-inch apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake 16 to 18
minutes or until light golden brown.
