So in all of the madness of June, one of the Tuesday with Dorie recipes I missed was the Cheddar Apple Scones chosen by Karina of The Floured Apron. I finally made them this weekend and they were excellent. I agree with others that they were more like biscuits than scones that I’ve had in the past, but they’ve made quite a tasty breakfast, and brunch, and late-night snack, and dinner so far this weekend! LOL!
I made them according to the recipe, but at the last minute thought that bacon would make a nice addition – in my mind I was thinking of Applewood Smoked Bacon and then bacon and cheese kolaches – so it all seemed like a natural fit. And IT WAS!! I’m so glad I added it! I just used the 50% reduced fat Real Bacon Bits, which was so much easier than frying and chopping up bacon on my own, and it cleared up a little more room in my fridge as well! Bonus!
And ready to eat:
Oh, wow, your pictures are making me so hungry! I love the idea of bacon with these.

YUM!
I love scones and I hardly ever have them anymore. I also love the combination of apple and cheddar (usually with a nice white wine). In this case I would have to pair it with coffee. That looks like it would make a nice fall dish.
