INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled
  • 1/2 pound shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  •  
  • 7 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese. Combine water and vinegar, and gradually stir in until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C.) Roll one ball out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate. Roll out top crust and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, toss apples in lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Drain and discard any excess juice. Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Arrange rows of overlapping apple slices, working from outer rim in. Dot with butter. Cover with top pie crust. Seal and crimp edges with fork, then trim excess dough. Cut a few slashes in top crust to allow steam to escape.
  4. Bake on cookie sheet in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven, brush lightly with beaten egg, and sprinkle liberally with sugar. Bake 5 to 10 minutes more until sugar forms a crisp glaze.

Baking pie is a rather straightforward technique, but a few  tips  can only help to make your pies come out looking and tasting perfect!

This was a very good pie, next time I would bake the crust a little before to keep if from being as soggy. The cheese flavor is not overpowering, it is quite nice - a hint of cheese, and a delicious pie! (I followed the directions exactly) The liquid in the pie did not gel, it just made more liquid infact, so I don't know how to fix that. We enjoyed the pie though!

For those of us who like a slice of cheddar cheese with hot apple pie, this recipe is great. My crust didn't turn out as well as I'd like it, but I seem to be 'pie crust challenged' and have not yet worked out a technique for flaky, tender crust.

I liked the filling a lot, but I wasn't too sure about the crust. I was hard to manage, as the cheese made it sticky and lumpy. It was also hard to cut. I will say, though, that it was definitely one of the prettiest pies I've made. The cheese-speckled crust made for a very attractive dessert.
