Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced apple.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.
-
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
-
Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.
