The best apple pies always have a cheddar cheese crust and this is no exception. I found this in an old cookbook years ago, can't remember the name, but it's a great piece of pie! Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup butter flavor shortening |
1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese |
3 -4 tablespoons cold water |
5 cups thinly sliced peeled cooking apples |
1 cup sugar |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup sugar |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup butter |
1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl stir together the 1 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoons salt. Using a pastry blender cut in the shortening and cheese. Add water a tablespoonful at a time to make crust stirring with a fork to blend. Roll out and ease into a 9 pie plate. Fold and flute edges.
2. Combine apples, sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon and salt.Spoon into the pie shell.
3. Mix cheddar topping ingredients together until crumbly and sprinkle over the apples.
4. Cover edge of pie with foil and bake at 375* for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 20-25 minutes or until top is golden and the fruit is tender.
