Apple Oatmeal Scones

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup diced unpeeled apple
• 2/3 cup chopped pitted dates

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0; lightly butter a 10-inch diameter circle in the center of a baking sheet.
2. In a bowl, stir the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
3. Cut the butter into 1/2 inch cubes and distribute them over the flour mixture.
4. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. In a small bowl, stir the egg, milk, molasses, and vanilla together.
6. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine; the dough will be sticky.
7. Stir in the apple and dates until evenly distributed.
8. Spread the dough into an 8-inch diameter circle in the center of the prepared baking sheet.
9. With a serrated knife, cut into 8 wedges; bake 22-27 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.

11. Using a spatula, transfer the scones to the wire rack to cool.
