Tap a step to mark it done

1 In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, applesauce, and vanilla.
2 In a food processor, place the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, the sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg pulse to combine. Add the hardened coconut oil and pulse a few times until the coconut oil is just combined.
3 Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the apple. Add the egg mixture and use a spatula to fold until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
4 Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead lightly, using more flour as needed to prevent sticking. Form the dough into a ball, divide it in half, and flatten each half into a 1-inch-thick disk. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
5 Preheat the oven to 400°F and line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
6 Remove the dough from the freezer and cut each disk into 6 wedges. Separate the wedges and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
7 Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled scones. If desired, sprinkle the glazed scones with chopped pecans.
8 Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
