Peel and Core Apples, Then Cut Them Into One-Sixteenths. (i Assumed This Meant Chunks, not Slivers.) Placed Them in a Single Layer on a Baking Sheet Lined With Parchment Paper and Bake Them Until They Take on a Little Color and Feel Dry to the Touch, About 20 Minutes. They Will Be About Half-Baked. Let Them Cool Completely. (you Can Speed This Up in the Fridge, as I Did.) Leave Oven On. |

Sift or Whisk Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder and Salt Together. Set Aside. Place Butter in the Bowl of an Electric Mixer With a Paddle Attachment, Along With Cooled Apple Chunks, Cheese, Cream and One Egg. Sprinkle Flour Mixture Over the Top and Mix on Low Speed Until the Dough Just Comes Together. Do not Overmix. [don't Have a Stand or Hand Mixer? I'd Rub the Cold Butter Into the Flour Mixture With My Fingertips or With a Pastry Blender, Hand-Chop the Apples Coarsely and Mix the Rest Together With a Wooden Spoon Until Combined. It Might Feel Awkward, but It Should All Come Together. Again, Don't Overmix It Though It Will Be Harder to Do This by Hand.]. |

Transfer Them to a Baking Sheet That Has Either Been Buttered or Lined With a Fresh Sheet of Parchment Paper. Leave at Least 2 Inches Between Each Scone. |
