This is one of my favorite scone recipes- combining chewy, sweet apricots with the crunch of sliced almonds in our flavorful vanilla scone mix. The pairing of texture and flavor is unmatchable. These are perfect with a hot cup of coffee early in the morning, or an after dinner treat. No matter how you snack on them though, they're sure to be gone before you know it.
