Cheddar-Crusted Apple Pie Recipe

Make the crust: Mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the center. Cut in butter using 2 forks or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse sand. Add cheese and water. Mix until dough comes together. If too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Make the filling: Toss together all ingredients until apples are well coated. Place mixture on the center of the crust. Fold up sides of crust to enclose filling. Brush crust with egg wash. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven.

Dust with confectioners' sugar and sprinkle with grated cheese on top. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream on the side, if desired.
