I'm not sure I'll ever be done to make new and different Apple Pies. I know this blog, there were many, and I am sure that each new recipe that I proclaim as my "new favorite" or "really the best this time!" Well it is possible to have several favorites and they are all amazing for their own reasons? Because what my history of parents. Needless to say, I tried another variation on classic Apple Pie and I love it all. Do you have paired cheddar and apple pie together? It is amazing and I can not get enough.
There are many variations on the thing Cheddar Apple Pie, some of which in real cheddar crust, but in my pie I use my regular favorite Pie Crust recipe and has a crumbly streusel loaded with extra cheese cheddar. The result is perfectly crisp, crunchy and sweet and savory most fabulous wholesale Festival. Overall cheddar flavor is not overwhelming, but it really brings out the sweetness of the apples. I wish I could find the right adjectives to describe how it was- but you'll just have to trust me and do it yourself.
Another thing to note is how perfect the texture and consistency of the apples in the pie were. I've never given that I was in my apple pies too well, normally just choose Granny because I thought they were the best. Well this time I had a ton of beautiful Golden Delicious apples, I do not like to eat, but read were perfect apple pie. Woah are they ever ?? With Granny I feel I must be pre-cook the apples or really bake the pie so long that they are soft, but the texture of these apples was just perfect and I do not have to do any of these things . They are not mushy or mealy, fully retained their shape / texture, but were super soft and tender. Golden Delicious is my new favorite Apple Pie. Get them while it's Apple Season folks- do not know what I'll do the rest of the year. :)
