Time 2h55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled
½ pound shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
¼ cup ice water
¼ cup white vinegar
7 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cubed
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon white sugar

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

CHEDDAR CHEESE APPLE PIE



Cheddar Cheese Apple Pie image

Provided by Anne Thornton, Host of Dessert First

Categories     dessert

Time 3h15m

Yield 1 (9-inch) pie

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/4 cups packed grated sharp Cheddar (about 5 ounces)
4 tablespoons ice water, or more as needed
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup sugar
2 3/4 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Pinch fine sea salt
3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, diced
1 beaten egg, for brushing

Steps:

  • For the crust: In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, salt, cold butter and grated cheese. Cook's Note: This is where you can add a little extra cheese or use extra-sharp Cheddar to deliver that tangy cheesy flavor in every bite. Pulse the processor until the mixture resembles fine sand.
  • Remove the lid and add the ice water to the mixture. Run the processor just until the mixture rolls itself into a little ball. If the mixture is a bit dry, add more ice water by the tablespoonful until it comes together. Gather the dough into a ball. With a bench scraper, divide the mixture evenly in half. Shape each half into a disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes. Cook's Note: At this point you can keep the wrapped dough in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze for later use.
  • For the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and sugar, making sure there are no lumps in the cornstarch. Mix in the apples slices, lemon juice and zest and pinch of salt. Toss to coat the apples completely in the mixture. Cook's Note: If you would like to add a beautiful blush color to your filling, add a red-skinned apple like Braeburn to the mix and toss some of the peel into the mixture. The result is a light pink hue that's absolutely gorgeous and delicious!
  • After the dough has chilled, lightly flour the work surface and roll 1 of the dough disks into a 13-inch round. Carefully place the dough round to a 9-inch diameter deep-dish glass pie dish. Brush the overhang with water. Pour the apple filling into the dough-lined dish and dot it with the diced butter.
  • For the top crust, roll out the second dough disk on the same lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round, slightly smaller than the bottom crust. Carefully place the dough over the mound of apples. Press the overhang of the bottom and top dough pieces together to seal. Cut the excess dough to 1/2 inch and fold under. Crimp the dough under and pinch together. Cut 3 (2-inch) slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape. Cook's Note: For an extra-special touch, combine the pie dough scraps, roll out and then cut out shapes, like apples or leaves, and place on the top crust or pie edges. Brush with egg wash and bake.
  • Bake the pie until golden brown, about 30 minutes. If the edge of the crust browns too quickly, place an edge guard or craft your own out of aluminum foil and place on the pie edge. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake the pie until the apple filling starts to bubble up in the center and has thickened, about 30 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and cool the pie on a rack for 1 hour.

CHEDDAR CHEESE AND MUSHROOM PIE

CHEDDAR CHEESE PEAR PIE



Cheddar Cheese Pear Pie image

I had a bunch of pears that needed used up and I make this recipe with apples so I substituted pears for the apples.

Provided by Lynelle Caldwell

Categories     Pies

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 large pears
2 tsp lemon juice, fresh
1/2 c sugar
4 tsp corn starch
1/8 tsp salt
1 frozen deep dish pie shell (or homemade)
TOPPING
3/4 c sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c butter, melted
FINALLY
Hand Full cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Defrost pie shell. Preheat oven to 425. Peel, core and slice pears. Toss with lemon juice. Add cornstarch, sugar and salt to pears and toss until coated. Place in pie shell.
  • 2. In small bowl add cheese, flour, sugar and salt. Stir together. Add melted and cooled butter and stir with a fork. Add to top of pears in an even layer.
  • 3. Bake for 25-35 minutes until golden brown. I place pie on cookie sheet (in case it bubbles over)
  • 4. Cool on wire rack. I prefer it cooled completely, but my husband likes it warm with vanilla ice cream.
  • 5. After you place pie on rack, sprinkle with handful of cheese. It will melt with residual heat.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a sharp cheddar cheese.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cheese by hand.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before baking, this will help prevent it from shrinking.
  • To make the pie ahead of time, bake it according to the directions and then let it cool completely. Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat the pie, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the pie for about 20 minutes, or until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

Cheddar cheese pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover cheddar cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a cheddar cheese pie that your family and friends will love.
