For #GlobalApron challenge this week I chose apple as my main ingredient to make these tender, light milk scones, while incorporating the tropical sweetness of coconut and the natural sweetness of fresh apples.

These are ideal for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack, To top it all, they are quick and easy to make.
