Maple Bacon & Apricot Gluten Free Scones

A few years ago I found a recipe in the magazine Real Simple for a quick appetizer that was simple, different and delicious. A dried apricot and a piece of fresh sage were wrapped in half of a piece of turkey bacon and baked until the bacon was crisp.Then when they are hot, brushed with maple syrup just before serving. A lot of flavors that surprisingly go great together.  When I was thinking of making scones the other  day I wanted something savory so I took the same ingredients and added them to the package of gluten free scone mix. I was pleasantly surprised, the results were exactly what I was looking for. The sage tastes like Fall and the dried apricots and maple syrup add just enough sweetness to balance the smokey bacon. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a snack. In each bite you get lots of different flavors that make for a tasty treat!

Recipe:
1/2 Cup diced dried apricots
4 Slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 Tablespoons fresh sage, minced 
2 Tablespoons maple syrup

Prepare scones according to package directions, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix until combined.  Dump batter out onto a counter and form into a circle 1" thick. Use a 2" biscuit cutter to form about 9 scones.  Reshaping dough as you need.
Brush with egg wash if desired (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk).
Bake according to package directions.
