  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine 2-1/2 cups flour, salt and sugar in a food processor. Add chilled butter; pulse until mixture reaches a coarse meal consistency.

  2. 2

    While processing, drizzle in ice water until a dough ball forms. Pour into a bowl; toss with cheeses.

    Pour onto plastic wrap; form dough into a ball. Wrap tightly and chill 1 hour. For a top crust, double the recipe.

  4. 4

    Toss apples with cinnamon, brown sugar and 1 Tbsp. flour until evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Pour mixture into pie crust; top with butter.

  6. 6

    If desired, place top crust on top of apples; crimp edges to seal. Slice air vents into the top crust.

  7. 7

    Bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes. Cover edges of crust with foil if they begin to brown too quickly.

  8. 8

    Allow to cool slightly before serving.
