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!

Nutrition
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.
