Apple Cinnamon Scones- Gluten Free and Vegan from HeatherChristo.com

Happy Monday!!

I hope you all had a great weekend! We had a lot of action around here. If you want to see some comedy, head over to facebook to watch the little cooking class that Pia and Coco and I did for Halloween goodies. We wore costumes. It was definitely funny if you like a little chaos.

Pia got her ears pierced (this is the third time by the way- we are hoping that her ears can handle it this time). Pete and I snagged a date night and we watched Sleepless in Seattle ( I forgot how much I love that movie- I cried like three times).

Sunday I cooked alllllll day. It was Thanksgiving in October (I can’t wiat to share all of these gorgeous recipes with you for the Holidays!) and then I made my parents and brother and his wife come eat all of the food. I am still full by the way. And then, as of it were real Thanksgiving, we watched football while trying to digest. It was a great weekend.

And one more highlight from the weekend is this recipe! I made these this weekend and everyone devoured them- the kids were sooo into these. They are really tender from the applesauce and then there are those nice little chunks of apple baked into the scones as well. They are all topped off with a sweet vanilla glaze drizzled over the top- delicious!
