SUGARED PECAN CRUMBLE TOPPED SWEET POTATO CARAMEL SCONES

Sugared Pecan Crumble Topped Sweet Potato Caramel Scones are sweet and tender with a buttery crunchy topping thanks to the streusel and pecans.

I tested these scones both with and without the sugared pecan crumble. Also, I tried them with and without the caramel sauce. I’ll admit, the plain sweet potato scones are lovely. They are hearty and filling and perfect for brunch, not too sweet with a nice sweet potato flavor.

As well, I added pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon to give these scones that warm, ‘fall’ flavor.

If, however, you want to impress or want a sweeter scone, you’ll want to top them with either or both the sugar pecan crumble and caramel sauce.

Sugared Pecan Crumble Topped Sweet Potato Caramel Scones

1. First, I used this recipe for the Cinnamon Sugared Pecans for the top of these scones.
2. And, I used this recipe for the Caramel Sauce for these scones.
3. To save time, you may want to purchase caramel sauce (ice cream sauce).
4. You can either use plain or toasted pecans instead of the Cinnamon Sugared Pecans or purchase sugared pecans. Although, I always think homemade is the best way to go.
5. Want more decadence, your scones with Honey Butter!! I’ve included a quick recipe in the notes section of the recipe below.

Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary based on products used.

What’s your favorite fall flavor? Sweet potatoes? Pumpkin? Apples?
