How to Make Apple Cranberry Scones
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the shredded apple and dried cranberries.
- Add milk and stir until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 8-10 times.
- Pat the dough into two 6-inch circles.
- Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Cut each circle into 6 pie-shaped wedges.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm with butter (optional).
