Apple scones reflect traditional Irish thriftiness, but they also satisfy the typical Irish sweet tooth!

This dessert embodies the best of Ireland because it doesn’t use any expensive imported fruit as ingredients – just the simple apple, one of the few fruits that grows well in the Irish climate.
