Friends are coming to dinner tomorrow and I've been doing a little baking. Thanks to a windfall from David, who kindly gifted me with three pounds of apples, this pie came to fruition (ba dum). I was inspired by this New York Times pastry recipe, except I couldn't bring myself to use lard. Instead, I made a savory cheddar crust — and found that the cheese makes the dough a LOT easier to handle. Added bonus: I love cheddar and apples together. Extra added bonus: A delicious cheesy aroma now pervades my apartment.
What's your favorite fall pie?
