Ingredients

• 2 large apples or 3 small ones
• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup sugar (plus 2 Tablespoons for sprinkling)
• 1/2 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 Tablespoons butter, cold, cubed
• 3/4 cup white cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 large eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 F
2. Peel, core, and chop apples. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes until they get a little bit of color.
3. Once the apples have started to brown a little take them out of the oven and let them cool completely before adding to the batter. I put mine in the fridge.
4. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Either sift or whisk together.
5. Combine cooled apples, butter, cheese, 1 egg, and cream in a food processor. (If you don't have a food processor or mixer cutting the butter with two knives is also an option).
6. Add flour mixture to the wet mixture and pulse or mix until just combined. Don't over mix.
7. On a floured surface, lay out dough and combine so it forms about an inch tall circle. Cut into desired shape (I cut mine with a biscuit cutter into circles).
8. Place scones onto a parchment lined baking sheet or greased baking sheet.
9. Beat the other egg and brush on the top of the scones then sprinkle with a little sugar.
10. Bake for 30 minutes until scones are cooked through.
