How to Make Apple Cheddar Nut Scones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Add 1/2 cup Mott's applesauce.
- Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 5-6 times.
- Pat the dough into an 8-inch circle, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Separate the wedges slightly.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy with your favorite chili!
