If you’ve never made an apple pie with cheese before, you don’t know what you’re missing! We urge you to give this apple pie with cheddar crust recipe from Beth Kennett at Liberty Hill Farm in Rochester, Vermont a try. Enjoy it on its own or with Beth’s recommended topping of Cabot Greek Yogurt. She says, “I love to use Cabot Greek style yogurt for the topping on pies in place of whipped cream. Cabot makes Strawberry and Vanilla Bean that are great as dessert toppings”. After making this scrumptious pie, share the recipe with family and friends on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter or Instagram.

To make a cheddar cheese apple pie that serves 8, begin by preheating your oven to 375°F.

For the Cheddar Cheese Pie Crust:

Combine all-purpose flour and salt in a large bowl and then cut the Cabot Salted Butter into the mixture until it reaches a crumbly texture.

Next, mix the egg, apple cider vinegar and cold water together and add to the flour blend. Be careful not to over mix.

Fold in the grated Cabot Vermont Sharp, Extra Sharp, or Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese. Be gentle or the dough will turn out tough.

Divide the dough into 2 parts and roll out each half. Place ½ of dough in the bottom of the pie plate and pat it into place.

For the Filling:

Combine the apples, sugar, maple syrup and spices in a large bowl. Add ½ cup of fresh cranberries, if desired.

Pour mixture into pie plate and top apples with thin slices of Cabot Cheddar (Orne Meadow, Farmhouse Reserve, or Seriously Sharp are all excellent options!)

Top pie with other ½ of rolled out crust. Trim and crimp crust, or create any crust design that you’d like.

Bake at 375°F for approximately 45 minutes. Remove from oven when crust is nice and brown.
