How to Make Cheese And Apple Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine shredded cheese and diced apples. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Gradually add buttermilk, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the cheese and apple mixture.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 8-10 times.
  8. Pat the dough into a 9-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges.
  9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
