Apple Pie With Cheddar Cheese Crust
- FOR THE CRUST:
- 3 cups Pastry Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Cold Unsalted Butter, Diced
- 1/2 pounds Cheddar Cheese, Grated
- 1/4 cups Cold Water (add More If Needed)
- 1/4 cups Cold Vodka
- 1/2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
- _____
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 5 whole Granny Smith Apples (peeled, Cored, And Sliced)
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cloves
- For the crust:
- Heat oven to 450u0b0F.
- Sift flour and salt together in a large bowl.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two knives (a potato masher works well too) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add cheese, water, vodka and Dijon and stir to combine.
- Working quickly, preferably with cool hands, form the pastry into a large ball. Split the ball down the center and form each half into a disc.
- Wrap each disc in wax paper or cling wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of thirty minutes (a couple of hours is better).
- Meanwhile, work on the filling. Peel, core and slice the apples and place in large bowl.
- Add lemon juice and toss to coat. This will keep them from turning brown.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon and cloves and toss to coat and set aside.
- Remove dough from the fridge and let sit on the counter for fifteen minutes prior working with it.
- Place the dough on a well-floured surface and coat rolling pin in flour.
- Roll the dough out and fit it into a nine-inch pie plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- If you're making a top for your pie, add your filling to the base and cover with the other crust and refrigerate the whole thing for 30 minutes.
- Cover the edges of the crust in tin foil and place the pie in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes then lower the heat to 350u0b0F and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil from the edges of the crust and bake for an additional ten minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.
