Preheat Oven to 375

On a parchment lined baking sheet oven roast the onion (sprinkled with about a tsp of sugar) and apple pieces for 20-25 minutes until both are softened. Leave the oven on.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Once apples and onions have thoroughly cooled combine with butter, cheese, half and half, and egg in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Sprinkle flour mixture over the top and mix until just combined. Don’t over mix.

Scrape dough onto a well floured surface. Sprinkle the top with more flour (the dough is sticky) and roll or pat out to 1 ½ inch thick. You can now either cut into 6 wedges (like the original recipe) or use a biscuit cutter and make 11-12 rounds.

Place on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash or cream and sprinkle lightly with sugar.

On middle rack of oven bake for about thirty minutes at 375 if wedges. For rounds increase the heat to 400 and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown and firm.

Best still warm from the oven

I baked half the rounds and froze the rest to bake on a later date.
