Apple, Gruyere and Sage Scones
- Recipe Submitted by maryjosh on 10/18/2016
Ingredients List
- 2½ cups (301 grams) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (99 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
- 1 apple (any variety), peeled, cored and finely chopped
- ½ cup (57 grams) finely diced Gruyere cheese
- 1½ teaspoons minced fresh sage
- 1 cup (227 grams) heavy cream, plus more for brushing
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. Add the cubed butter and, using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is the texture of coarse sand and there are no pieces of butter larger than the size of a pea remaining. Stir the chopped apple, Gruyere and sage into the mixture, making sure that everything is evenly coated in flour.
4. Pour the heavy cream into the flour mixture and, using a wooden spoon, gently stir until all of the cream has been absorbed. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times to bring the dough together.
5. Pat the dough into a 9-inch circle (it should be 1-inch thick). Using a 2½-inch round cutter, cut out circles and place on the prepared baking sheet, gathering scraps and repeating until no dough remains.
7. Bake until the scones are set and golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store the scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
