For a more intense cheese flavor, use a sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, tent the pie loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream makes a delightful addition to this pie.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Line the bottom of the thawed pie crust with the Cheddar cheese slices, ensuring even coverage. Arrange the thinly sliced apples in a circular, overlapping pattern over the cheese. Set aside. (10 minutes)
03
Step
15 mins
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth, creating a roux. Gradually add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. (15 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Pour the warm butter mixture evenly over the apples, ensuring all slices are coated. Top with the second pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal and create a decorative border. Cut slits or pierce the top crust with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking. (10 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and 1 teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the top crust to promote browning. (2 minutes)
06
Step
55 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue to bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. (55 minutes)
07
Step
0 mins
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
