MOM'S APPLE PIE WITH CHEDDAR CRUST | The best!
#weekendatthecottage #thebestapplepie #applepierecipe
MOM’S APPLE PIE WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE CRUST is a sensational dream come true!
Before I jump into telling you all about MOM’S APPLE PIE WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE CRUST, lemme just say, it’s a keeper. In fact, I’m now ranking it as the best pie I ever made, and as frequent visitors to Weekend at the Cottage will know, that’s saying something.
Okay, enough said. Let’s make MOM’S APPLE PIE WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE CRUST:
THE GOODS
We believe every truly great pie begins with the best ingredients. There are three key parts to making this pie where choice ingredients get put to the test. More about each a bit further down.
The one high-level consideration regarding all ingredients - do your best to track down and use organic. If those organic ingredients are locally sourced and or grown even better. This pie, and your tummy, will thank you for it!
THE CRUST
My mom gets credit for this idea, she’s the one who first attempted it way back when I was kid. Although she didn’t leave a recipe for it, the memory of an apple pie made with this unexpected, almost unusual CHEDDAR CHEESE PIE CRUST, stuck with me all this time. It was pleasure working through the concept and making a number of pies along the way to get it right.
You’ll need one cup of grated cheddar cheese for this pie dough recipe, and although we didn’t specify, the older the better. An aged cheddar will give the crust a cheesier flavour and get bonus points for how it partners with the apple filling. This pie is all about that time-honoured pairing of apples and cheddar cheese.
SAUCE TOSS
While developing the concept for this recipe, I kept going back to the steps I normally follow when making other fruit pies like our BLUEBERRY, SOUR CHERRY and CLASSIC PEACH GINGER pies. For those ones, you place the fresh fruit in a bowl, sprinkle with sugar, salt, lemon juice and cornstarch, fill the shell, dab with butter and bake. Easy, peasy.
While developing this recipe, my mind went in a different direction. I started thinking about flavouring the apple filling with cinnamon and brown sugar and how the butter would melt in. Then it hit me, what if I prepared a sauce for the apples first?
Sure enough, I was soon testing a butter-brown sugar sauce that’s akin to a warm, melted, spiced caramel. This time I really, really mean it - just wait until you try it! Gently tossing the apples in that sauce is pretty perfect.
APPLES
Although “Spy for pie” came to mind when I started thinking about what apple to use, I instead went with Cortland. They are a typical McIntosh-style apple with both a nice crunchiness and level of tart sweetness. In my mind, their top “pick me for pie” selling feature is that they don’t brown as quickly after peeling as other varieties do.
Two tips on preparing them for the recipe: go slow and slice them evenly and thinly to help create an attractive look when we layer them inside the shell. Uniform slices also cook evenly throughout. The second thing is that we crafted the recipe by weight, so make sure you have two pounds of apple after they've been peeled, cored and thinly sliced.
ASSEMBLY LINE
Pulling the various components of this pie together is very easy and I’m sending you all my best pie-making good vibes. Basically, you’ll gently toss the apples in the sauce, then it's a quick roll out of the dough for the bottom of the pie. So far, so good!
Next up, we transfer the apples into the dough-lined pie plate. Important: spoon the apples in instead of pouring them, and move them about so that they lay flat on top of each other. Think of layers upon layers of apple.
Final steps are to cover the filled pie with the upper crust, brush with an egg wash, cut slits into the dough for air vents, then bake! It’s all wonderfully straightforward.
REST STOP
After the pie has baked, we suggest giving it a few hours to settle. We found the pie stays warm, and don’t worry, it stays hot enough for the vanilla ice cream to ever-so-slowly melt while you enjoy.
SURPRISE
We had a wonderful surprise happen that we know you’ll love. After serving up the first two wedges of pie, we noticed a tiny bit of that caramel-like sauce oozing into the bottom of the pie plate. If you have a small teaspoon handy, gather up a bit of it and drizzle it over the ice cream. Just saying… XO!
Thanks so much for following along on the journey to homemade pie nirvana. We’re all quite tickled with the results, yet I for one am not surprised. My mom served each and every pie she made for her dearest family and friends with her secret ingredient: love. I guess I did the same!

CHEDDAR CHEESE PIE CRUST | Tender, Flaky, Cheesy!!!
#weekendatthecottage #piecrustrecipe #pierecipes #homemadepies
A CHEDDAR CHEESE PIE CRUST that’s perfect for apple pies and savoury recipes too!
Head HERE for the full recipe:
My mom gets credit for this idea; she’s the one who first attempted it way back when I was kid. Although she didn’t leave a recipe for it, the memory of an apple pie made with this crust has stuck with me all these years. It was a pleasure working through the concept and making a number of pies along the way to get it just right.
We’re thinking you’ll have no problem making this straightforward pie dough recipe, and even first-time pie makers will find the process a breeze. Nice thing about the flaky, buttery crust is that you’ll be able to use it to make MOM’S APPLE PIE or any other pie that might taste better with a hit of cheese.

Okay, enough with the preamble! Let’s make a CHEDDAR CHEESE PIE CRUST:
STARTING POINT
This photo of the ingredients needed to make this crust mirrors our ALL-BUTTER PIE CRUST, the one noticeable difference being the cheddar cheese. Remember when you go to make the dough that the butter needs to be cold when you begin. This will help keep the crust light and flaky.
COLD LIQUID
I always start with the wet ingredients when I make this pie dough. Don’t miss the key step of adding ice cubes after you've stirred together the water, egg and vinegar. That cold liquid really chills the butter and flour mixture when you bring the dough together.
CHEESE
Although I truly believe other cheeses may work in this recipe, I’ve only made it using cheddar. Getting this crust to work perfectly with MOM’S APPLE PIE was my goal, and now with this accomplished, let the experimentation begin. I’ll keep you posted on my upcoming best cheesy practices.
WRAP AND CHILL
It’s important to chill your pie dough for at least eight hours after making it. This gives the gluten a chance to relax before you roll out the dough to create your shell and crust. Once you’re ready to roll, try not to overwork it - this keeps those pockets of butter intact until they melt quickly in the hot oven, leaving you with a beautifully tender, flaky crust. That’s your goal.
CHEDDAR CHEESE PIE CRUST is this season’s hottest pie trend. Make it, bake it and enjoy!
