While Labor Day is the unofficial beginning to fall, the true date is not until the end of September! While it is fast approaching, I think it’s important to use the fresh flavors of summer just a little while longer while they’re still ripe and at their peak flavors.

A simple way I love to enjoy peaches and raspberries is in these rustic scones. Usually, if I’m having a scone, I just eat some fruit on the side. But then one day, I thought – well, why not stuff it inside!? You’ll soon see why this idea was long overdue. These scones are simple to make and so delicious!

I love to enjoy these with a little cinnamon butter (4 tablespoons room temperature salted butter mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon) or just by themselves. These aren’t overly sweet, letting the flavor of the fruit shine through! Enjoy the last fresh flavor of summer!

For the topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Prepare peaches by cleaning and cutting them in small pieces. Set aside with washed raspberries.

  • Using butter that has been frozen, shred the butter on the large holes of a box grater or cheese shredder. Then return shredded butter to the freezer.
    10 tbsp (1 ¼ sticks) unsalted butter
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup almond flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp kosher salt, ½ cup granulated sugar

  • Add cream and stir in until a shaggy dough forms.
    ¾ cup heavy cream
  • Pour the shaggy dough onto a well-floured surface and, with well-floured hands, knead it a few times until it comes together as a cohesive dough, adding more flour to the counter as needed. Then pat into a rectangle. Roll dough into a 10×14-inch rectangle, making sure to keep the sides even.
  • Sprinkle dough with lemon zest.

  • Spread mascarpone cheese on ⅔ of the dough, then sprinkle evenly with peaches and raspberries.

  • Fold the dough into thirds (like a letter), starting with the empty third. Press folded pastry lightly to adhere to the fruit.
  • Cut the dough in half then each half in three pieces. Then cut each piece into two triangles.
  • Place scones on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Brush the tops with remaining cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
    2 tbsp heavy cream, 2 tbsp turbinado sugar
  • Place in preheated oven and bake until lightly golden and firm to the touch, 20-30 minutes.

    These turned out great! Delicious flavor. The video mentions adding sugar to the dough, but the written recipe doesn’t include white sugar just the turbinado sugar sprinkled on top. I guessed from the video that 1/4 cup sugar was needed for the dough.
