How to Make Apple And Cheese Scones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup grated cheddar cheese.
- Peel, core, and coarsely grate 2 medium apples (about 2 cups).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg. Stir 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard into the grated apples. Add half of the beaten egg to the dry ingredients along with the grated apples.
- Gradually add 1/4 cup apple juice, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Gently roll out the dough to 3/4-inch thickness.
- Use a 3 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out 6 scones. Re-roll scraps and cut out more scones if desired.
- Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and risen.
- Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm, split, and buttered.
