How to Make Apple Cheddar Cheesy Pie

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cheddar cheese, salt, and butter. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
5. While the dough chills, peel, core, and slice the apples. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
7. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
8. Roll out the remaining dough and either top the pie with a full crust or cut into strips for a lattice top. Crimp the edges to seal.
9. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
10. Bake for 65 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
11. Let cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
