Pumpkin Scones With Maple Glaze
Pumpkin season may be just about over, but don’t let it end before you make a batch of these Pumpkin Scones With Maple Glaze! They’re soft, perfectly spiced with your favorite fall spices, and drizzled with a simple maple powdered sugar glaze. YUM.

I have so many memories from childhood running through the streets of my hometown with my friends, gathering treats from the neighbors like an adorable little bandit (back then we trick-or-treated without adults…in the dark…gotta love the ’80s!).
