Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
Cheddar Double-Pie Crust
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 pounds Granny Smith apples
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with rack in lowest position. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the smaller disk of dough just under 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Roll remaining disk to just under 1/4 inch thick and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet for top crust; refrigerate along with pie plate.
  • Place lemon juice in a large bowl. Peel, quarter, and core apples; thinly slice crosswise, tossing with lemon juice as you work. Add sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt to bowl; toss to combine.
  • Fill bottom crust with apple mixture; lightly brush edge of crust with water. Using a paring knife, cut out either a circle or small slits in center of top crust. Place top crust over filling; press all around edge to seal with bottom crust. Using kitchen shears, trim to a 1-inch overhang; fold dough under itself to form a rim, and press to seal. Using thumb and forefinger, crimp as desired.
  • Place pie plate on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Combine lightly beaten egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush crust with egg wash. Bake 20 minutes; reduce heat to 375 degrees, and bake until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling, about 80 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack, at least 4 hours (or up to overnight) before serving.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a hit! The cheddar cheese crust is a nice change from the traditional pie crust and the apples are always perfectly cooked.

This cheddar crusted apple pie was absolutely delicious! The crust was flaky and flavorful, and the apples were perfectly spiced. I will definitely be making this again.
