Apple Pie In Cheddar Crust

I adopted this recipe during the great recipe adoption of feb 2005. i haven't tried it out yet. But i shall be trying this recipe soon and once i do, i'll update it with my comments. please feel free to do so and post your comments.

Steps

Cheddar crust:.

Combine the flour , cheese and salt in a bowl.

Using a pastry blender or two knives , cut in the shortening until coarse crumbs form.

Sprinkle the iced water and using a fork , toss the crumbs until a dough is formed.

Press the dough firmly into a ball.

Filling:.

Divide the pastry almost in half and roll out the larger half , on a lightly floured surface , to a 13-inch circle.

Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry , trimming the edges to 1 / 2-inch beyond the rim of the pie plate.

This will cause holes or the pastry will shrink and the filling will run over in the oven as it is baked.

Place in the pie plate and gently , working from the center , spread the pastry out until it covers the bottom of the pie plate and then lay the rest of the pastry over the rim and trim.

) combine the apples , sugar , flour , and cinnamon in a bowl , mixing well.

Arrange the apple mixture in the pastry lined pie plate.

Roll out the remaining pastry to an 11-inch circle'.
