Peach Scones

There’s nothing quite like the taste of fresh peaches to capture the essence of late summer, and these peach scones do just that in the most delicious way. Lightly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, each scone is dotted with sweet, juicy chunks of peach that melt into the buttery dough as they bake. With just the right hint of spice—perhaps a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg—these scones are perfect for slow mornings, afternoon coffee breaks, or anytime you want to bring a little seasonal sunshine into your kitchen. Simple to make and full of homemade charm, they’re a true celebration of one of summer’s best fruits.
