I saw this recipe and bookmarked it because it has no eggs, a smaller amount of sugar, and got great reviews. It’s from Food.com. I did it completely in the food processor. First, I shredded the apple (but only used 1/2 cup), then I removed the shredded apple, and mixed my other ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt). Then I added back my apple and then put in the milk. I even ‘kneaded’ it in the processor instead of on a cutting board. Easy, just a little sticky recipe, so I added more flour and covered it in flour before shaping into a circle. DELICIOUS! Add some butter and preserves, serve with tea! It goes great with Dutch apple preserves!
