Tips

We use apple peels which tend to be discarded, making it even tastier.

Cooking the apple seems tiresome to do, but the first two processes of making apple butter and peel jam are done by just mixing and microwaving so that it becomes very easy.

When making the scone dough, do not stir too well. Stop dealing when it’s still floury. Do not knead the dough.
