Cranberry Apple Scones

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup orange-cranberry muffin mix (such as Krusteaz)
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons butter, chilled and diced
• 1 apple, diced
• 1/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins)
• 3/4 cup half-and-half
• 1 egg
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Whisk flour, muffin mix, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine apple and dried cranberries together in a bowl; mix into flour mixture.

Beat half-and-half and egg together in a bowl until frothy; slowly stir into flour mixture using a rubber spatula until dough forms. Knead dough 4 to 5 times. Roll dough into a rectangle onto a lightly floured work surface using your hands. Cut rectangle in half diagonally and each half into 4 triangles, making 8 triangles. Arrange triangles on the prepared baking sheet.

Whisk egg white and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl; brush over each triangle.

Bake in the preheated oven until scones are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
