Categories     dessert

Time 2h5m

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
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Two 9-inch-diameter, unroll-and-bake refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg white, beaten until frothy

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack on the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Butter the sides and bottom of a 9-inch-diameter glass or ceramic pie dish.
  • 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. Fold the double edge under and crimp, making a decorative edge. Brush the top of the pie with more of the egg white. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is deep golden and the filling is bubbling through the slits, about 1 hour. Cover the edges of the pie with foil if the crust browns too quickly. Cool the pie for about 20 minutes before serving.

Categories     dessert

Time 5h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup (4 ounces) grated extra-sharp white Cheddar
2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch wedges
1 1/2 pounds Braeburn apples, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch wedges
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter, sliced into pats
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the pie crust: Combine the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of the food processor and give it a quick pulse to blend the ingredients. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like crumbly sand. Add the cheese and pulse again until combined and cheese is worked into the mixture and cut into small chunks. Turn the mixture out into a bowl, drizzle in 6 tablespoons cold water, and mix in with a rubber spatula until the flour is moistened. Add another tablespoon of water, only if needed. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a ball and flatten to a disc. Rest the dough to relax the gluten, 30 minutes.
  • For the filling: Combine the Granny Smith apples, Braeburn apples, sugar, flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl and toss to combine.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Adjust the baking racks to the center of the oven.
  • Roll out 1 disc of the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Add the apples in an even layer and dot with the butter. Lightly brush the edges with egg wash. Roll out the next dough round, slightly smaller than the first. Cover the top of the apples with the second pie dough, pressing the edges to seal the crust. Trim the crust so you are left with a 1-inch overhang. Tuck the crust underneath itself so it's flush with the edge of the pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively. Brush the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Make 5 air slits in the center of the pie. Place the pie on baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 45 minutes longer. Cool to room temperature, at least 3 hours, before slicing.

This is a recipe for apple pie that I got from allrecipes.com and it is THE BEST apple pie I have ever had. It is different that ordinary apple pie, the fresh apples are placed in the crust, covered in a lattice top and smothered in a decadent sauce. Whoever Grandma Ople is, I would really like to thank her for she sure knows how to make a mean apple pie!For my crust, I use a recipe for pie crust that includes vinegar and is found on this site.

### **Martha Covington’s Cheese **Pie Crust --- ### **Summary** - Martha Covington's cheese pie crust is a delectable and versatile crust perfect for both sweet and savory fillings. - The main ingredients include all-purpose or pastry flower, butter, cream cheese, and freshly grated Parmesan. - The secret to a flaky and flavorful crust is using cold butter and cream cheese, which helps create distinct, buttery pieces throughout the crust. - It's essential to work the ingredients quickly and keep the pastry cold to prevent the butter and cream cheese from becoming too soft. - The basic ratio for the crust is 2:1:1, meaning two parts flower, one part butter or cream cheese, and one part Parmesan. ### **Detailed Step-by-Step Guide** 1. **Mise en Place (Preparation)**: - Ensure all ingredients are cold, especially the butter and cream cheese. - Grate the Parmesan cheese finely. - Pulse the flower and salt in a food processer until combined. 2. **Adding the Fats:** - Add the cubed butter and cream cheese to the food processer. - Pulse until coarse crumbs form, resembling small peas. 3. **Incorporation of the Parmesan:** - Add the freshly grated Parmesan and cheese and continue puling until the mixture resembles coarse sand. 4. **Adding Liquid:** - Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, puling in between additions. - The goal is to achieve a moist, but not sticky, crumbly mixture. ### **Bringing it Together:** - Empty the crumbly mixture onto a lightly floured surface. - Gently press the mixture together until it forms a ball. - Do not overwork the pastry, as this can result in a tough crust. ### **Chilling the Dough:** - Wrap the pastry ball tightly in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. ### **Rolling and Shaping the Crust:** - After chilling, roll the pastry between two pieces of parchment paper. - Ensure the pastry is evenly distributed. ### **Blind Baking (if Needed):** - For a pie crust that holds its shape, pre-bake or blind bake the crust before adding the filling. - Line the crust with parchment and fill it with pie weight or dry Beans. - Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10-12 minutes, then remove the parchment and weight or Beans. ### **Baking with Filling:** - If the recipe calls for a fully baked crust, simply fill the crust with your desired filling and bake according to the recipe's instructions. ### **Conclusion:** Martha Covington's cheese pie crust is a delicious and versatile option. Follow these steps and tips for a flaky, flavorful, and successful crust every time.
