-MARY WILSON BWVB02B
2 c All purpose flour
2/3 c Wheat germ
2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
1/4 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt; optional
1/3 c Margarine; chilled
1 1/4 c Apples; finely chopped
(1 large apple)
1/2 c Skim milk
1/4 c Honey

----------------------------------TOPPING----------------------------------
1 tb Wheat germ
1 tb Sugar
1/4 ts Ground cinnamon

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.
