Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 ounces grated Cheddar, plus 6 ounces for the top
- 14 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
- 2 Red Delicious apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 shots (3 ounces) bourbon
- 1 shot (1.5 ounces) maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pinch ground cloves
- Pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- 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.
- For the filling: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Stir together the apples, brown sugar, flour, butter, bourbon, maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, pepper, salt, cloves and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- 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.
- For the whipped cream: Beat together the cream, syrup and granulated sugar until firm.
- Serve the pie with the whipped cream.

Reviews
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.
