Ingredients

  1. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  2. 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  3. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  4. 5 ounces grated Cheddar, plus 6 ounces for the top
  5. 14 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cubed
  6. 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
  7. 2 Red Delicious apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
  8. 1 cup brown sugar
  9. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  10. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  11. 2 shots (3 ounces) bourbon
  12. 1 shot (1.5 ounces) maple syrup
  13. 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  14. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  15. 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  16. 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  17. Pinch ground cloves
  18. Pinch ground nutmeg
  19. 1 cup heavy cream
  20. 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  21. 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. For the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt together in a food processor to combine. Add the 5 ounces Cheddar and pulse, then add the butter and pulse until it creates a coarse meal with some larger butter lumps. Add water a tablespoon at a time (no more than 1/2 cup) while processing just until the dough comes together. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a disc. Refrigerate while making the filling.
  2. For the filling: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  3. Stir together the apples, brown sugar, flour, butter, bourbon, maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, pepper, salt, cloves and nutmeg in a large bowl. 
  4. Roll out the dough, using additional flour as needed, into a circle large enough to drape into a 10-inch pie plate or cast-iron skillet. Cover with the filling. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, then lower oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 30 minutes more. Sprinkle on the remaining 6 ounces Cheddar to the top of the pie and bake until browned and melted, 15 minutes. Let cool until cheese hardens.
  5. For the whipped cream: Beat together the cream, syrup and granulated sugar until firm.
  6. Serve the pie with the whipped cream.

Hey Greenie, I made this and it turned out great! I used all Granny Smith apples and adjusted for less sugar – outstanding with Woodford Reserve bourbon.
