- ⅔ cup toasted wheat germ
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Topping:
- 2 teaspoons wheat germ
- 2 teaspoons sugar

Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, wheat germ, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the apple, milk and honey; add to dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times. Gently pat dough into a 9-in. circle, about ½ in thick. Combine the topping ingredients; sprinkle over dough. Cut into eight wedges.
