How to Make Apple Cheddar Scones

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and apple cider.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a fork just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
6. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and dried apple.
7. Gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
8. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12 equal scones.
9. Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
10. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and firm to the touch.
11. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
