How to Make Cranberry Applesauce Scones
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the dried cranberries.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the applesauce, yogurt, and lemon zest.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Using a sharp knife or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 16 equal wedges.
- Carefully transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.
- Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk for extra golden color (optional).
- Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
