sorry i just found the added crust recipe. Note to those that copied the recipe from the show, some of the crust ingredients portions have changed. Please click on the cheddar crust recipe above the apple filling ingredients. Liz
Martha, I TIVO your show every day. I love it. The recipe for the Cheddar Crust Apple Pie seems to be missing the Cheddar. LOL. Could you please let us know if there is in fact supposed to be Cheddar in the recipe? i wrote the whole recipe down and went over the pie part in the show about 3 times thinking i missed it, but i dont see the cheddar! :) thanks Liz Stoltz
I very highly recommend this pie, and don't be bashful with the cheese, it's the best part!
I also tented the pie with foil during the majority of the baking time for fear of overcooking the top.
One of my favorites to make during the holidays. The crust is excellent. Highly recommend!
This pie is excellent and easy to make.
Click on "Cheddar Crust" and the recipe will open up.
I could be overlooking it; where is the cheddar in the "Chedder Crust".
It always takes a long time to make something for the first time. I remember the first time I made an apple pie in high school. It seemed like it took almost a whole Saturday. Now I can cut up the apples, measure everything and get it in the oven in about 45 mins - an hour. Then I do something else while it bakes. Once you know your oven too, you will know how long it will take your oven to bake something. :)
Click on the blue text "cheddar cheese" at the top of the recipe. It will take you to the pie crust recipe. All of the ingredients on this first page make up the pie filling.
Where is the cheese?
This is the very first pie I've ever made from scratch. It took me 8 hours! I didn't realize how much earlier I should have started to have been able to eat it last night. So we didn't get to eat it til this morning. Delicious! (even though we didn't have Cortlands, had to use Golden Delicious.)
Super easy to make, and oh so delicious!!!!
