Burnt Offerings's Notes:
Expand2 1/2 cups All purpose flour. I actually used a whole wheat flour in mine - you could do a 1/2 and 1/2 combo if you like Ask a question about this ingredient
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, plus a little more for sprinkling on top Ask a question about this ingredient

Finely chop the dried apples and ginger pieces by pulsing them a few times in a food processor, or by hand, and place in a large mixing bowl.

Ask a question about this stepAdd the butter pieces to the dry ingredients and pulse to incorporate. You want nice, crumbly bits. If there are a few larger lumps of butter left, that's fine - work them in with your fingers.

Ask a question about this stepAdd the cream and egg mixture to the dry ingredients and incorporate. Don't over mix it, you just want it to come together.
Ask a question about this stepTurn the mixture out onto a floured surface and work it into a dough - it will be sticky. Form it into a round loaf about 2 inches thick, and using a knife or dough scraper, cut the loaf into 8 equal slices like a pie.

Ask a question about this stepPlease note - there should only be 1/4 cup of brown sugar in this recipe. I can't seem to edit it to remove the 1/4 cup of regular sugar - I'll keep trying!!
