APPLE CHEDDAR SCONES
Scones, in my book, get a bad rep. Most people think they are flavorless rocks. In reality, scones are the perfect blend of muffin and biscuit. The key to a perfect scone is to NOT over mix. Scones should be mixed just enough that the dough starts to bind. That's it! You can then form, by hand, a flat circle and roll out to...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Peel, core and slice apples into sixteenths. Place them in a single on prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the slices are dry to the touch and slightly colored. Allow to cool completely.
- 3. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- 4. In a separate bowl, blend together butter, cheese, cream and one egg.
- 5. Coarsely chop cooled apple slices and stir into butter mixture.
- 6. Mix butter mixture into flour mixture just until it begin to come together. (I mix with my hands so I am sure to not over mix.) It's ok to have large chunks of butter as this will add moisture to the scone as it bakes.
- 7. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, and mold into a disc shape. Flour your rolling pin (or press it out with your fingers) and roll to about 1/2 inch in thickness. Cut into 6 triangular pieces.
- 8. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper again. Place each scone on prepared pan leaving roughly 2 inches between the scones.
- 9. Beat remaining egg in a bowl and brush on each scone and sprinkle each scone with sugar or cinnamon and sugar, if you prefer. Bake @ 375 degrees F. for about 20-30 minutes until firm and golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
- 10. These freeze well prior to baking. To prepare from frozen, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar and bake as above but for perhaps a little longer.
