There is an old tradition of covering a slice of cheddar on a fresh from the oven apple pie. The tangy salty cheddar and the gooey syrupy apple pie compliment each other beautifully. This pie brings the two flavors together in a delicious way.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl toss and coat apples with all of the other ingredients.
Pour apple mixture into a prepared pie crust, Pile the mixture high in a mound.
carefully place top crust over the apples and cut the edge of the crust to a 2 inch overhang.
Crimp the the crust, ensuring the two crusts are secure so the filling will not run out during baking.
Using a sharp knife, make four slices to create vents for steam to release.
If Desired, Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle the pie with sugar.
Place the pie on a lined cookie sheet and bake 60-70 mins or until crust is brown and the the juices are starting to bubble from the vents.
