Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 cups cream
  • 1 cup apple peeled and diced
  • 1 cup 4 oz shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°
  • In the bowl of a mixer add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give the mixer a mix on low to combine.
  • Then drizzle in the heavy cream and mix on medium to combine.
  • Add the apple and cheese and mix until just combined, the mixture will look like crumbs, but moist.
  • Scoop with a 3 tablespoon scoop and press the dough into the scoop to hold its shape, then drop onto parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Or turn the mixture out onto wax paper and pat it into place, or roll it into desired thickness and cut it into triangles.
  • Add a thick piece of shredded cheese to the tops of each scone.
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out clean and scones feel “light” when picked up versus “heavy and wet”. But don’t overbake.
  • These baked for 15 minutes at 375°.
  • Test the scones with a toothpick, add 1 minute at a time if needed. Larger or thicker scones may take a minute or two longer.
