Zubereitung von Apple Pie In Cheddar Crust
- **Cheddar Crust:**
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup cold shortening using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly with a fork until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- **Filling:**
- While the dough chills, peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups).
- In a separate bowl, combine the sliced apples, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the chilled dough into a 13-inch circle.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough into an 11-inch circle. Cut steam vents in the top crust.
- Place the top crust over the filling, trim and crimp the edges to seal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash over the top crust.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with vanilla ice cream (optional).
