- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add oil and heat. Add apples and 1 tablespoon sugar and sauté while stirring until apples start to soften, about 1 minute.
- Transfer to a bowl and put in the refrigerator to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Grate chilled butter into the flour using a grater (or cut with knives) and use your fingers to combine into a coarse dough.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, egg, cheddar cheese and apples.
- Add to dry mixture and combine with a spoon just until mixed (do not overmix).
- Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle on a floured surface. Cut into 6 wedges and transfer onto baking sheet at least 1-inch apart and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- While scones are cooling, make glaze by mixing together powdered sugar and honey.
- Add water just until you get a glaze thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Drizzle scones and eat!
