Just Like Grandma Use To Make... Apple Cheddar Cheese Pie.

I've been wanting to make a pie for awhile and I had some great apples laying around so, here is my old school apple cheddar pie. My grandmother would make this recipe right around this time of year when I was a kid. It's something I always looked forward too, cheese and apple go great together too, so don't be scared. This is as close as I could get to her recipe, it was almost as good but it's hard to replace your grandmothers food.

Apple Cheddar Cheese Pie

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup earth balance, chilled
1/2 pound  rice cheddar cheese
1/4 cup ice water
1/4 cup white vinegar
7 large fuji apples - peeled, cored and sliced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon orange sugar

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese. Combine water and vinegar, and gradually stir in until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours. Pre-heat oven to 450 F. Roll out bottom crust with rolling pin and place in pie pan. Roll out top crust and set aside. Toss sliced applies in lemon juice and pour off excess juice. Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Arrange rows of overlapping apple slices, working from outer rim in. Dot with butter. Cover with top pie crust. Seal and crimp edges with fork then trim excess dough. Cut a few slashes in top crust to allow steam to escape (I used a leaf cookie cutter to put a hole in the center of my top crust). Place in pre-heated oven for 15 minutes. Turn down oven to 350 and continue baking for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven, brush lightly with melted earth balance, and sprinkle liberally with orange sugar. Bake 5 to 10 minutes more until sugar forms a crisp glaze.
