Directions

1. Step1
   Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2. Step2
   Place oats in blender or food processor. Cover and blend until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in all-purpose and whole wheat flours, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg.
3. Step3
   Using a pastry blender, cut in 3 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center; set aside.
4. Step4
   In a medium bowl, lightly beat 1 egg. Add buttermilk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and vanilla. Stir in apple and almonds. Add all at once to flour mixture. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
5. Step5
   Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing it for 10 to 12 strokes or just until dough holds together. Divide dough into 8 portions. Pat each portion into a 3-by-2-inch rectangle. Place scones 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
6. Step6
   In a small bowl, lightly beat remaining egg; brush onto scones. In another small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon sugar, brown sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle on scones.
7. Step7
   Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly on baking sheet.
8. Step8
   In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 teaspoon butter. Stir in powdered sugar and enough milk to make icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle icing over scones.
9. Step9
   To store: Place iced scones in a single layer in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months. To serve, thaw at room temperature.
