Apple Green-Chile Pie With Cheddar Crust

In a food processor, combine the flour, salt, cheddar cheese, and butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish and press it into the bottom and sides.

In a large bowl, combine the green chiles, apples, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.

Roll out the remaining dough into a 10-inch (25 cm) circle. Cut the dough into strips and create a lattice pattern on top of the pie. Brush the lattice with the beaten egg.

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Serve the pie warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
