    Apple & Cheddar Scones

    Happy Sunday! I am happy to share with you this scone recipe I have been eating for many mornings. It’s so nice to be able to make a batch of scones or muffins and be able to grab one while running out the door in the morning. These apple and cheddar scones are a new favorite. They have yummy chunks of sweet apple paired with the sharpness of cheese making these scones great for those indecisive about having a savory or sweet breakfast. I also love the sliced apple and thyme on top, it makes these scones look a lot more impressive than they actually are (in effort!). Enjoy guys!

    RECIPE BY Teri & Jenny
    Prep Time: 30 minutes mins
    Cook Time: 25 minutes mins
    Total Time: 45 minutes mins
    Servings: 6

      INGREDIENTS  

    • 2 cups all purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
    • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
    • 1 apple, peeled cored and diced
    • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
    • ½ cup buttermilk

    garnish

    • 6 thinly sliced apple wheels
    • warmed honey
    • fresh minced thyme

      INSTRUCTIONS  

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
    • In a large bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • Cut cold cubes of butter into the flour mixture until the butter is completely incorporated and the mixture has obtained a mealy texture.
    • Add the cheese, apple and black pepper and mix together until well combined.
    • Fold in the buttermilk and mix together until just combined and the mixture has formed into dough.
    • Form the dough into a 1 ½ inch thick rectangle and cut into 6 squares.
    • Top each scone with an apple wheel and gently press into scone. Place scones onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the scones puff up and the tops just start to brown.
    • Remove from oven and gently brush apple wheels with warm honey and sprinkle with thyme. Allow scones to cool, about 10 minutes. Serve.

      I just made the dough. Haven’t baked. But I followed all the measurements exactly. And there wasn’t enough buttermilk to bring the dough together. Is a half a cup the correct amount? I had to add around 1/3c more to get it to come together.

      I’ve made these 3 times. They’re as good as they look and easy to make. Plus they’re great as a portable breakfast. My only quibble is the amount of pepper – but that’s a matter of taste.

      It’s like apple pie but better because it is not messy and does not require a fork. Can’t wait to take a bite out of one of these!!!

      Apples and cheese were (ok maybe still are) one of my favorite afternoon snacks when I was a kid. What a brilliant idea for a scone flavor. Delicious! I love the little apple ring on top! Too perfect.

      I used to work in a cafe bakery and sometimes we’d score some of the French bread loaves and stuff in cheddar cheese and jalapeños. Sweet and savory. Love it.
