Around Christmastime last year, I made some cheese biscuits. Those cheese biscuits are by far the most requested baked good for me to bake at my house. They disappear within a day. They are seriously THAT GOOD. I didn’t think I could ever top that recipe.
I saw some apple and cheddar cheese scones being sold at a coffee shop where I get my usual coffee and chocolate croissant, and I thought OH MY GOD! I could make that!! Not the chocolate croissant..I made croissants once before, but they took SO long! I need something quick and easy to make on a weekday.
So here we go. My very own apple cheddar cheese scones… or biscuits?
I just googled the difference between scones and biscuits, and from what I’ve gathered, I would classify these as biscuits.
But whatever you call them, there is no arguing that these are some pretty tasty hunks of food if I do say so myself.
And if you are still deciding whether or not to make it, if you have apples that need using, I would definitely make these Apple Cheddar Cheese Biscuits. I keep finding apples in the back on my fridge that are questionable, and they taste so good when baked into these biscuits.
These biscuits don’t last long in my house, and I doubt they would last long in yours!
Apple Cheddar Cheese Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 large apple, peeled, cored and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt sugar baking powder and cream of tartar. Pour into a food processor, and add the shortening. Pulse to mix until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Stir in the cheese with a fork. Mix in the milk until fully combined. Fold in the apples.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and flatten into a rectangular shape. Cut the dough into squares.
- Place the dough onto a ungreased baking sheet, and bake for around 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
I love eating apples and cheddar together, but have never cooked/baked them together. Clearly I've been missing out. Your biscuits sound delicious.
I love the combination of flavours. They look very tasty.
These biscuits would be perfect for breakfast.. 🙂
ONE OF my favorite snacks back in the day when I could eat fruit and dairy, was Gruyere cheese and Granny Smith Apples! AMAZING!!! I never thought about throwing those two things into my third favorite thing, BREAD! 🙂

I have been loving biscuits lately (actually, I love biscuits all the time…i've just been making them a lot lately haha). Anyways, it's a great idea to add cheddar + apples!!! I need to get more creative with my biscuit making!
