How to Make Apple Cheddar Pie With Sweet Potato Crust
- **Make the Sweet Potato Crust:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups cooked and mashed sweet potato, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes.
- Mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough into a 9-inch greased pie plate. Crimp the edges.
- **Prepare the Apple Filling:** Peel, core, and slice 4 medium apples (about 4 cups).
- In a medium bowl, toss the apples with ¼ cup apple cider or white wine and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Let marinate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight in the refrigerator).
- Drain the marinated apples well.
- Spread the drained apples evenly over the sweet potato crust.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the apples.
- **Make the Egg Wash:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons heavy cream. Add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
- Pour the egg wash evenly over the apples and cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
