Preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with 1 teaspoon of sugar and set aside.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and the remaining sugar and ground cinnamon until combined.
Using your fingertips, rub the cold butter into the mixture, leaving some chunks of butter to create the flaky texture that we seek.
Mix in the shredded apple and milk just until a dough forms (DON'T knead the dough).
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and gently shape it with your hands into a circle, about 2 cm thick.
Use a knife to divide the circle into 8 equal pieces. Place them on the baking sheet and then scatter the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Store the scones in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or freeze for 2-3 months.
