Apple Cheddar Scones





This is my first post with TWD. I have been very excited and nervous at the same time. My friend Shandy has been a great encouragement to me from buying Dorie Greenspan's cookbook to joining TWD. I purchased my cookbook three weeks ago and have had plenty of time to drool over the lip-smacking recipes.


I walked into my kitchen today ready to start baking my scones. My kitchen was filled with the aroma of ribs boiling on the stove top. Steven decided to barbecue up some ribs for dinner. This did not discourage me from proceeding on my scone baking mission. I quickly grabbed a corner of my kitchen counter top and got started!


I love scones and have made blueberry, peach and strawberry. I have to say I have never heard of apples and cheese in a scone. But...Im always willing to try new recipes.


Ever since we have visited the Tillamook Factory in Tillamook Oregon I have been in love with their cheese and butter. I try to use it when ever I can.


Mixing and putting together this recipe was very easy. I loved that it didn't take much prep time . With Rib man eager to get in the kitchen, it was perfect! I liked the taste of the scones with a big helping of butter melted on top. My family prefer my other scone recipes to this one.

Welcome! I'm hooked on Tillamook cheddar myself. Your scones look wonderful!

Steph said...

It's my first TWD too! Your scones look great. I love testing out different flavour combinations. With only 12 scones I couldn't try too many or we would have to start dividing our scones up so every could have a taste.

Tillamook sharp cheddar is our standard cheddar around here. I buy it in the one pound blocks like you have and use it for all sorts of things. Great job on your first recipe. Welcome to the group!

Welcome to the mad mad world of TWD. Pull up a chair, have a scone (mine are apricot and ementhaller) and make yourself at home. :)

Great job with this week's assignment!
