Apples!

I know I'm a little late to the apple craze/season but I suddenly found myself with 10 pounds of Fiji's. You know when you go to a store and use your card to pay for a pack of gum and some trail mix that total $4.10 (with tax) and the sweet woman working the cash register reminds you that they only accept cards for purchases over $5? Do you take the hit and let them dock an extra 50 cents on? Or do you quickly scan for something in the $1 range close to the register because Damn These People Aren't Making Money Off Me! This woman was really pushing the apples. We were at Remlinger Farm at the tail end of apple season and apparently they reaped more than they bargained for. Homegirl was not letting us out of that place without a wheelbarrow of apples. So we left with 10 pounds of fiji's for 90 cents, that's how we roll.
My mind already started racking through apple recipes on the drive home. I wanted sweet and savory. That brings us to Apple Cheddar scones.
They start with roasted apples.
They get mixed with shredded cheddar, an egg, half and half, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
It's kneaded and formed into a circle shape and cut into quarters.
Brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with sea salt.
Sweet and savory goodness.
Recipe adapted from Smitten.

Another apple recipe coming soon!
