APPLE AND CHEDDAR SCONES



Apple and Cheddar Scones image

I got this recipe from the cooking blog, Smitten Kitchen. I made these for breakfast for my family and they loved them! The scones are perfect for autumn.

Provided by elisechristiane

Categories     Scones

Time 1h50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 firm tart apples
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons for sprinkling
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt plus additional for egg wash
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes plus additional for baking sheet if not lining it with parchment
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (white is recommended, I assume for aesthetics)
1/4 cup milk
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Position a rack at the center of oven and preheat oven to 375 °F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Peel and core apples, then cut them into one-sixteenths. (I assumed this meant chunks, not slivers.) Placed them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake them until they take on a little color and feel dry to the touch, about 20 minutes. They will be about half-baked. Let them cool completely. (You can speed this up in the fridge, as I did.) Leave oven on.
  • Sift or whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Set aside. Place butter in the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, along with cooled apple chunks, cheese, cream and one egg. Sprinkle flour mixture over the top and mix on low speed until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. [Don't have a stand or hand mixer? I'd rub the cold butter into the flour mixture with my fingertips or with a pastry blender, hand-chop the apples coarsely and mix the rest together with a wooden spoon until combined. It might feel awkward, but it should all come together. Again, don't overmix it though it will be harder to do this by hand.].
  • Generously flour your counter top and place the scone dough on top of it. Sprinkle with flour. Use a rolling pin to gently roll (or use your hands to pat) the dough into a 1 1/4-inch thick, 6-inch circle. Cut circle into 6 wedges. Transfer them to a baking sheet that has either been buttered or lined with a fresh sheet of parchment paper. Leave at least 2 inches between each scone.
  • Beat remaining egg in a small bowl with a pinch of salt. Brush the scones with egg wash and sprinkle them with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake until firm and golden, about 30 minutes. With a spatula, lift them to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.

APPLE CHEDDAR SCONES



Apple Cheddar Scones image

These are wonderfully light and moist scones- a perfect meeting of sweet and savoury. The recipe is from the fabulous Dorie Greenspan and is printed in her cookbook "Baking: From My Home To Yours".

Provided by blucoat

Categories     Scones

Time 40m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large egg
1/2 cup cold buttermilk
1/4 cup cold apple cider or 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely diced dried apple (can also use fresh diced apples)

Steps:

  • Getting reading: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  • Stir the egg, buttermilk and apple cider together.
  • Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Drop in the butter and, using your fingers, toss to coat the pieces of butter with flour. Quickly, working with your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut and rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is pebbly. You'll have pea-size pieces, pieces the size of oatmeal flakes and pieces the size of everything in between - and that's just right.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until the dough, which will be very wet and sticky, comes together. If there are still some dry ingredients in the bottom of the bowl, stir them in, but try not to overdo the mixing. Stir in the grated cheese and dried apple.
  • Still in the bowl, gently knead the dough by hand, or turn it with a rubber spatula 8 to 10 times. Then, because the dough is very sticky, the easiest thing to do is to turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface, pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick and, using a dough scraper or a chef's knife, cut it into 12 roughly equal pieces; place on the baking sheet. Alternatively, you can just spoon out 12 equal mounds onto the baking sheet. (At this point, the scones can be frozen on the backing sheet, then wrapped airtight. Don't defrost before baking - just add about 2 minutes to the baking time.).
  • Bake the scones for 20 to 22 minutes, or until their tops are golden and firmish. Transfer them to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before serving, or wait for the scones to cool to room temperature. (Or you can let them cool for about 3 minutes, and enjoy them while the cheese is still warm and gooey!).

Tips:

  • For a more pronounced cheddar flavor, use a sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To make sure the scones are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a scone. If it comes out clean, the scones are done.
  • Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or honey.

Conclusion:

Apple and cheddar scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a crowd because they can be made ahead of time and reheated. The combination of sweet apples and sharp cheddar cheese is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. These scones are also a great way to use up leftover apples.
