Scones with Cranberries and Apples

Ingredients 0/12

Step 1

Gently heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, muffin mix, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, toss the chopped apple and dried cranberries together, then fold them into the flour mixture. Beat the half-and-half and egg together until frothy, then gradually stir this into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until a dough forms. Give the dough a few gentle kneads—about 4 or 5 times—just until it comes together.

Step 3

Lightly flour your work surface and press the dough into a rectangle with your hands. Cut it diagonally in half, then cut each half into four triangles, making eight in total. Place the triangles on your prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Mix the egg white with the confectioners’ sugar and brush this glaze over each scone. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. Let them cool slightly before enjoying!
