Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped apricots and cranberries.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
