APPLE PIE WITH CHEESE, PLEASE



Apple Pie with Cheese, Please image

This apple pie has Cheddar cheese baked right inside! Cheddar lines the bottom of the crust and perfectly harmonizes with the apples. Just like you'd find flatbread with goat cheese and honey, the cheese baked right in with the apples provides a buttery and melty texture.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (9 inch) frozen pie crust, thawed
6 slices Cheddar cheese
5 medium apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
½ cup butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup water
1 (9 inch) prepared pie crust, at room temperature
1 egg white
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Line the bottom of the pie crust with Cheddar cheese slices. Place apples into the crust in a circular fashion, layering slices on top of one another. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and mix well to combine, removing any lumps. Add white sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a slight simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour butter mixture over apples to cover all slices. Top with additional pie crust; seal edges. Pierce the top with a fork to allow steam to release. Mix egg white and 1 teaspoon water together in a small bowl; baste over pie crust using a basting brush.

  • Continue to bake until golden and set, about 35 minutes more.

APPLE PIE WITH CHEDDAR CRUST



Apple Pie with Cheddar Crust image

A crumbly slab of Cheddar is a centuries-old accompaniment to a slice of apple pie; it imparts character in a way that a scoop of ice cream can't hope to match. Adding grated cheese to the crust tweaks the tradition, thus bringing an iconic dessert full circle.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For pastry:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 pound extra-sharp Cheddar (preferably white), coarsely grated (2 1/2 cups)
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup cold vegetable shortening (trans-fat-free), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 to 8 tablespoon ice water
1 tablespoon milk
For filling:
1 1/2 pound Gala apples (3 medium)
1 1/2 pound Granny Smith apples (3 medium)
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Make pastry dough:
  • Stir together flour, salt, and cheese in a large bowl (or pulse in a food processor). Add butter and shortening and blend with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse) just until mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Drizzle 6 tablespoon ice water evenly over mixture and gently stir with a fork (or pulse) until incorporated.
  • Squeeze a small handful: If dough doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until incorporated. Do not overwork dough or pastry will be tough.
  • Turn out dough onto a work surface and divide in half, then form each half into a 5-inch disk. Chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Make filling and bake pie:
  • Put a foil-lined large baking sheet in middle of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Peel and core apples, then slice 1/4 inch thick. Toss apples with sugar, flour, lemon juice, and salt until evenly coated.
  • Roll out 1 piece of dough (keep remaining disk chilled) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Roll out remaining piece of dough into an 11-inch round.
  • Transfer filling to shell. Dot with butter, then cover with pastry round. Trim edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Press edges together to seal, then fold under. Lightly brush top crust with milk, then cut 5 (1-inch-long) vents.
  • Bake on hot baking sheet 20 minutes. Reduce oven to 375°F and bake until crust is golden-brown and filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes more. Cool to warm or room temperature, 2 to 3 hours.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Butter, for greasing the pie dish
5 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and quartered (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 cup coarsely grated sharp white Cheddar (4 ounces)
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature

  • Cut the apple quarters into 3 wedges. Mix the apples, cheese, sugar, butter, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Unroll one crust and place in the buttered pie dish. Brush the inside of the crust with some of the egg white to coat. Pour the apple filling into the crust. Unroll the second crust and place on top of the filling. Pinch the edge of the top crust and the edge of the bottom crust together to seal.

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield About 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into dice
1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
5 tablespoons ice water, more as needed
5 cups peeled and thickly sliced tart apples, such as Jonagold, Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
1/2 cup chopped roasted green Hatch chilies, mild or medium hot (see note)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, preferably freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a food processor or mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine flour and salt. Add butter one piece at a time, while pulsing or mixing at low speed, until mixture is fine and crumbly. Transfer to a large bowl and toss well with the cheese. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with fingers just until dough holds together. To test, pinch a small amount of dough. If it is crumbly, add more ice water. Form dough into a ball, wrap loosely in plastic, then roll into a disk. Refrigerate at least one hour, or up to 3 days, before rolling. (Dough can be frozen for up to a month.)
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a circle at least 11 inches in diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, preferably glass. Turn edges under to make a thick rim; flute rim by pinching into a zigzag pattern. Refrigerate until ready to bake, at least an hour.
  • Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss apples, green chilies and lemon juice together. In another bowl, mix dry ingredients and add to apples and chilies, tossing until thoroughly coated.
  • Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix flour, walnuts and brown sugar. Add melted butter and toss together until crumbly.
  • Bake the pie: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Using a slotted spoon, scoop filling into chilled crust, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons of juice from bottom of bowl. Sprinkle topping evenly over filling. Bake 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until filling bubbles at edge and crust is brown. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Tips:

  • Use the right apples. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples are good choices for apple pie because they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the pie filling.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the apples. This will help to prevent them from bruising.
  • Add some spices to the apple filling. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic choices that will add flavor to the pie.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. The filling should be no more than 2/3 full, otherwise it will bubble over when it bakes.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for the remaining baking time. This will help to prevent the pie from overcooking.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

The addition of cheddar cheese to the crust adds a savory flavor that complements the sweetness of the apple filling. This pie is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or holiday gathering.
