Description
A delightful fusion of sweet apples and sharp cheddar cheese, enhanced with fragrant herbs, creating a savory twist on a classic dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), sliced
- 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 round Pie Dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs (thyme or rosemary), finely chopped
- 1–2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 Egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Toss them with brown sugar, half the herbs, and a pinch of salt.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until about 12 inches in diameter.
- Place the sliced apples in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and remaining herbs.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, creating a rustic crust.
- Brush the exposed dough with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
