Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons semolina flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
14 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup shredded aged sharp cheddar cheese
10 to 12 tablespoons ice water
FILLING:
1/4 cup butter, cubed
8 large Honeycrisp apples, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (about 12 cups)
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Place flours and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add butter; pulse until butter is the size of peas. Add cheese; pulse 1-2 times. Transfer flour mixture to a large bowl. Gradually add ice water to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight., Preheat oven to 400°. For filling, in a Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Heat 5-7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring constantly., Stir in apples and sugars; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 6-8 minutes or until apples are almost tender. Uncover; cook 4-6 minutes longer or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in flour. Transfer apple mixture to a large bowl; refrigerate until cool., On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to fit a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Transfer crust to pie plate; trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate. Refrigerate 30 minutes., Add filling to crust. Roll remaining dough to a 12-in. circle; cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. In a small bowl, whisk egg with water; brush over crust., Bake 45-55 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover edge loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Remove foil. Cool on a wire rack.

This pie was a bit too time-consuming for my taste. I think I would have preferred to buy a pre-made pie.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover apples. I had a bunch of apples that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this pie. It was a great decision! The pie was delicious and my family loved it.
