Cranberry Apple Scones Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup orange-cranberry muffin mix (such as Krusteaz®)

¼ cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon salt

5 tablespoons butter, chilled and diced

1 apple, diced

⅓ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)

¾ cup half-and-half

1 egg

1 egg white

1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Whisk flour, muffin mix, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Combine apple and dried cranberries together in a bowl; mix into flour mixture.

Step 4

Beat half-and-half and egg together in a bowl until frothy; slowly stir into flour mixture using a rubber spatula until dough forms. Knead dough 4 to 5 times. Roll dough into a rectangle onto a lightly floured work surface using your hands. Cut rectangle in half diagonally and each half into 4 triangles, making 8 triangles. Arrange triangles on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Whisk egg white and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl; brush over each triangle.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until scones are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
