CRUST:
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter chilled and diced
- 4-5 Tablespoons cold water
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
CRUST:
In bowl combine 2 1/2 cups flour, cheddar cheese and salt. Using pastry cutter or two knives, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture is the size of peas. Add cold water until a dough forms. Shape into two disks, one slightly larger than the other, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425°. Place a baking sheet on middle oven rack to preheat.
Unwrap larger disk of dough and roll on lightly floured surface to form a 12-in. circle. Press into a 9-inch pie plate; set aside. Unwrap remaining pie dough and roll on lightly floured surface to form 10-in. circle. Cut into 1-inch wide strips and set aside.
PIE FILLING:
In large bowl combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour and cinnamon. Add apples, tossing until apples are evenly coated. Transfer apple mixture into pie crust.
TOP CRUST:
Top with pie dough strips in lattice style and seal edges. Brush with milk and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar.
Arrange pie on heated baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375° and bake 1 hour or until juices are bubbling. Cool on wire rack.
