APPLE PIE WITH CHEESE, PLEASE



Apple Pie with Cheese, Please image

This apple pie has Cheddar cheese baked right inside! Cheddar lines the bottom of the crust and perfectly harmonizes with the apples. Just like you'd find flatbread with goat cheese and honey, the cheese baked right in with the apples provides a buttery and melty texture.

ALL AMERICAN APPLE PIE GRILLED CHEESE



All American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese image

In a grilled cheese challenge, my husband and I dared to create "dessert" sandwiches. This particular sandwich is the all-American twist on the apple pie. Instead of bread, we use frozen poundcake (thawed), add homemade apple pie filling, and brie cheese.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Butter, for greasing the pie dish
5 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and quartered (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 cup coarsely grated sharp white Cheddar (4 ounces)
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Two 9-inch-diameter, unroll-and-bake refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg white, beaten until frothy

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack on the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Butter the sides and bottom of a 9-inch-diameter glass or ceramic pie dish.
  • Cut the apple quarters into 3 wedges. Mix the apples, cheese, sugar, butter, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Unroll one crust and place in the buttered pie dish. Brush the inside of the crust with some of the egg white to coat. Pour the apple filling into the crust. Unroll the second crust and place on top of the filling. Pinch the edge of the top crust and the edge of the bottom crust together to seal. Fold the double edge under and crimp, making a decorative edge. Brush the top of the pie with more of the egg white. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is deep golden and the filling is bubbling through the slits, about 1 hour. Cover the edges of the pie with foil if the crust browns too quickly. Cool the pie for about 20 minutes before serving.

GRILLED CHEESE WITH APPLES AND APPLE BUTTER



Grilled Cheese With Apples and Apple Butter image

If Cheddar on a slice of apple pie sounds good to you, you will love this twist on a grilled cheese sandwich, which marries salty and sweet elements between two caramelized pieces of buttery bread. Look for dark apple butter, with no added sugar, since it will have the richest flavor. Unlike most grilled cheese recipes, which call for building the sandwiches, cooking them on one side, then flipping, this one calls for cooking the sandwiches open-faced, then assembling them.The cheese melts more quickly and reliably if cooked this way. Depending on the size of your bread slices and your skillet, you may be able to cook two sandwiches at a time. You could also have two pans going, or just serve them as they are finished. To serve all four at once, just transfer the cooked sandwiches to a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven while you crisp up the remaining sandwiches on the stovetop.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 small shallot, halved and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt
1/2 cup apple butter
8 slices country bread, cut 1/2-inch thick
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, sliced 1/4-inch thick

Steps:

  • Heat a large, 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon butter, then add apples, shallots, rosemary and a pinch of salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until apples are golden and softened, 8 to 10 minutes, reducing the heat if shallots threaten to burn. Transfer mixture to a plate; set aside.
  • Rinse and dry the pan, and set over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons if you're cooking two sandwiches at a time). Spread one side of each bread slice with 1 tablespoon apple butter (this will be the inside of the sandwich). With the apple butter-side facing up, top four of the bread slices with 1 ounce Cheddar each; divide the apple mixture among the remaining four slices of bread. (Don't assemble the sandwiches yet: The topped slices are first cooked, then combined.)
  • Add one Cheddar-topped piece and one apple-topped piece to the pan (two of each if your pan can accommodate it), drizzle 2 teaspoons of water in the pan, and cover. Cook until cheese is melted and bread is golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat if bread is browning too fast. Sandwich the two pieces together, cut in half, and serve immediately. Repeat with remaining ingredients, adding more butter to then pan if necessary.

Apple pie is one of America's classic desserts, and grilled cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make comfort food. When you combine these two favorites, you get an irresistible All-American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese. In this article, we will give you some valuable tips on how to make this tasty sandwich.

Tip #1: Choose the Right Bread

To create the perfect grilled cheese, you need the right type of bread. When making an All-American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese, you want a bread that can hold up to the filling and won't become too soggy. Sourdough, rustic white, or ciabatta are great choices. These breads have a sturdy texture that will hold the filling and won't fall apart.

Tip #2: Use High-Quality Cheese

The cheese you use in your grilled cheese can make or break your sandwich. A good rule of thumb for an All-American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese is to use a sharp cheddar or gouda. These cheeses have a strong flavor that complements the sweetness of the apples. You can also mix different types of cheese for added complexity.

Tip #3: Add Caramelized Onions

Caramelized onions are a great addition to any grilled cheese, but they work particularly well with an All-American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese. They add a sweet and savory flavor that elevates the sandwich to a new level. You can easily caramelize onions by cooking them over low heat with a bit of butter until they turn golden brown.

Tip #4: Use Apples with a Firm Texture

When choosing apples for an All-American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese, you want to choose ones with a firm texture. Soft or mealy apples will turn to mush when cooked, which is not what you want in your sandwich. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady apples are good choices. They have a sweet-tart flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.

Tip #5: Precook the Apples

To ensure that the apples in your All-American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese are cooked to perfection, it's best to precook them before assembling the sandwich. You can sauté them in a bit of butter until they're tender or roast them in the oven for a few minutes. Precooking the apples will also help prevent the sandwich from becoming too watery.

Tip #6: Add a Spread

Adding a spread to your All-American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese can take it to the next level. You can use mayonnaise, mustard, or even apple butter. These spreads add flavor and moisture to the sandwich, and they help the cheese melt evenly.

Tip #7: Cook over Low Heat

The key to a perfect grilled cheese is cooking it over low heat. This allows the cheese to melt evenly without burning the bread. When making an All-American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese, you want to cook it slowly to ensure that the cheese is melted, and the apples are cooked through.

Tip #8: Use a Cast Iron Skillet

Using a cast iron skillet is the best way to cook a grilled cheese. Cast iron retains heat well, and it distributes it evenly. This means that your sandwich will cook evenly and have a crispy exterior. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, a nonstick pan will work, but you won't get the same crust that a cast iron skillet provides.

Tip #9: Flip Carefully

When it's time to flip your sandwich, do it carefully. Use a spatula to lift the bread and check the color. If it's golden brown, it's time to flip it. Hold the sandwich together as you flip it, so the filling doesn't fall out. Cook the other side until it's golden brown as well.

Tip #10: Let it Rest

When your All-American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese is done, let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it. This will give the cheese a chance to set, and it will make it easier to cut. If you cut it right away, the cheese will ooze out, and you'll end up with a messy sandwich.

Conclusion

An All-American Apple Pie Grilled Cheese is a delicious combination of two classics. With the right bread, cheese, and fillings, you can create a sandwich that's sure to please. Use these valuable tips to make sure your sandwich turns out perfectly every time.
