We had a great show on Friday. Should college athletes be paid to pay college sports was the topic and we had some great comments. The show got so involved that the recipe didn't get finished. As promised here is the recipe for the Cinnamon Apple Scones. Enjoy!
Cinnamon Apple Scones
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons shortening, chilled
2 apple - peeled, cored and chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Using the dough mixer on your mixer cut in the shortening with the flour mixture until it resembles coarse corn meal.
3. Stir in the apples.
4.Whisk 1 egg, yogurt, 1 tablespoon milk, and almond extract together in a bowl until smooth. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until blended. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead 4 to 5 times. Shape the dough in a 1 1/2 inch thick circle.
5. Cut dough into 8 wedges, and place on the parchment covered baking sheet.
6. To make the scone topping, whisk the remaining 1 tablespon of milk and 1 egg together in a small bowl. Brush the tops of scones with the egg mixture then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle with almonds (if desired).
7. Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Sports Cynts Show for February 19, 2010
Today’s show was great! The main topic was Tiger Woods and his press conference. I don’t think Tiger owed anyone an apology except his family and maybe his sponsors. No matter what he said or how he was going to do the press conference, it was going to be analyzed, scrutinized, over analyzed and over scrutinized. My being a fan of his has nothing to do with his personal life, only what he does on the golf course.
I also gave my opinion on the Winter Olympic Games. Who came up with Curling and why is it a sport, not to mention an Olympic Sport? I don’t watch much of the Olympics, but I do keep up with the medal count. As of show time, the U.S. was ahead of all other nations in total number of medals (18) and in each medal!
Stars not participating in the NBA Slam Dunk Competition made it boring and the upcoming NFL Combine and Draft were other subjects of the show.
The appetizer for today was Chicken Pockets and today’s dessert was Apple Pockets. The recipes are below.
Chicken Pockets
4 servings
3 oz softened cream cheese
2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon salt
Dash black pepper
2 cups cooked and diced chicken
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
1 8-ounce tube refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tablespoons melted butter
Mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Baking sheet
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a sheet of parchment paper on the baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and milk. Stir in the salt, pepper and green onions. Add the chicken and mix thoroughly.
Unroll the crescent rolls and place them on the parchment-covered baking sheet, but don’t separate the dough into the crescent roll triangles. Press the dotted seams between each crescent roll until the line splitting the crescent rolls is not visible.
Place ¼ of the mix in the center of each rectangle and bring the corners up to the center. Press the seams to seal.
Brush the top of the pockets with the melted butter. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the pockets are brown.
Apple Pockets
16 servings
4 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
2 packages Pillsbury refrigerated rolled pie crust – 4 pie crusts
2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
Cinnamon-sugar (optional)
Mixing bowl
Parchment paper
Baking Sheet
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cover the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the apples in a large bowl and toss with the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.\
Unroll and divide each pie crust into quarters. Place an even amount of the apple mixture in each quarter. Fold the corners and sides up until completely sealed. Make a small slit in each pocket for a steam vent. (Optional – Brush the tops of the pockets with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar).
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown.
Please give me your feedback on the show and the recipes and join us next week for more sports and more food!
Thank you for your support!

Recap and Recipe from the Sports Cynts Show for January 15, 2010
Today’s show was great! We talked about the steroid/performance enhancing drug controversy in sports and whether those athletes who are proven to have used them should be allowed in the Hall of Fame.
We also talked about college coaches not fulfilling their contracts and leaving to go to other jobs. Should they be made to complete their contracts and should the kids be allowed to change schools without having to sit out a year?
Thanks to Donni Coley, Executive Producer of End Zone to End Zone for calling in to offer her perspective on the topics.
Today’s recipe was Quick Chicken Quesadillas. Here is the recipe:
QUICK CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
Tyson Fajita Chicken breasts strips
Margarine or Butter
Bell Pepper
Onions
Shredded Mexican four cheese package
Flour tortillas
Cilantro (optional)
Sour cream and Pico de Gallo or Salsa for dipping
Pam Cooking spray
Skillet
Sauté the onion and bell pepper with the margarine or butter in the skillet over medium heat until they’re tender, but not mushy. Clean the residue from the bell pepper, onion and margarine out of the skillet to use in cooking the quesadilla. Coat the skillet with Pam cooking spray and return to the heat. Place the tortilla in the skillet and let it heat for 5 seconds. Place the chicken, sautéed onion and bell pepper on one half of the tortilla. Add the cheese. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled side and heat on each side turning once until the cheese is melted and the quesadilla is heated through. Remove from the heat, slice into thirds or fourths and serve with sour cream and pico de gallo. You can also add lettuce and nacho cheese as a garnish if you like.
If you weren’t able to listen to the show live or you would like to hear it again, you can still listen to the taped recording at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sportscynts.
