Prep: Start by preheating the oven to 400° F. Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat, set aside.
Next, peel and dice the apple and measure out the 1 cup needed. Set it aside for future use. Also, measure out 4 tablespoons of sugar into a small bowl. The dough will be rolled in this before the baking process.
Cookie dough: In a medium bowl, mix the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then, grate the butter into flour mixture using the large holes of a box grater (mixture should resemble coarse meal.)
After that, add in the sour cream, vanilla extract, egg and apple pie spice. Stir the ingredients until the dough pulls from the side of the bowl and there are no crumbs on the bottom. The dough will be somewhat firm and sticky, but should still be manageable. Now, add in the diced apple and stir gently until the apples are fully incorporated.
Proceed to lightly flour a countertop surface and use your hands to shape the dough into a rectangle that is about 1" thick. All you are doing is dividing the dough so don't worry that it is perfect. Then, use a pizza cutter to cut the rectangle in half lengthwise, so you now have 2 long sections. Now cut them in half length wise down the middle again. Next, cut each of those pieces 3 times vertically, creating 16 sections total.
Bake: After that, gently pick up each section and roll it into a ball, proceed to roll each ball in the bowl of sugar. Place each piece of dough on the prepared cookie sheet. Place in the preheated oven and bake until golden brown, for about 12-13 minutes. Let the scookies cool for about 5 minutes before adding the glaze.
Glaze: In a medium size bowl, combine the powder sugar, vanilla extract and water, whisk together to combine well. Then drizzle over each warm scone using a spoon. Serve immediately and enjoy!
