Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoon Ice Water
- 6 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter, cut into cubes
- 1 large Egg (beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine flour and salt. Add chilled butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add grated cheddar cheese and pulse a few more times. Gradually add ice water and pulse until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the sugar mixture to the apples and toss until well coated.
- Roll out one disk of dough on a lightly floured surface. Place it in a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess. Fill the pie shell with the apple mixture and dot with cubed butter.
- Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the apples. Trim any excess and seal the edges by crimping with a fork. Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the crust with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
