Ingredients

2 teaspoons white sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup dark brown sugar
2 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
⅓ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
2 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and shredded
1 (1 inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, grated
⅔ cup milk

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet. Mix white sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl; set aside.
Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until crumbly. Mix in apples, ginger, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; stir until a soft dough forms. If dough is dry, add more apple.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly and divide in half; pat into 2 equal circles. Place on the prepared baking sheet; brush with milk and sprinkle with reserved cinnamon-sugar. Score each circle into 8 wedges.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden about 15 minutes.
