Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Combine flour, ¼ cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in shredded apple and ½ cup milk to form a soft dough.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently, 8 to 10 times. Pat into two 6-inch circles; place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with 2 tablespoons milk; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Score each dough circle into 6 pie-shaped wedges.
