In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla and milk, then add to the scone mixture and stir to just combine, taking care not to over mix. Stir in the apples and stir until just combined.

Transfer the mixture to a lightly floured work surface and divide the mixture into two. Shape each mixture into a disk, about 1 inch-tall. If not making the glaze, then brush with milk and sprinkle with course sugar.
