Time 2h10m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2-1/2 cups plus 2 Tbsp. flour, divided
1-1/2 cups KRAFT Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. butter, divided
1/4 cup cold water
5 Granny Smith apples (2 lb.), peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400ºF.
  • Process 2-1/2 cups flour, cheese and 3/4 cup butter in food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, pulsing just until dough begins to form ball. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into ball; flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Toss apples with sugar, spices and remaining flour. Roll out half the dough on lightly floured surface to 11-inch round; place in 9-inch pie plate. Fill with apple mixture. Cut remaining butter into small pieces; place evenly over apple mixture. Roll out remaining dough to 11-inch round; place over pie. Seal and flute edge. Cut several slits in top crust to permit steam to escape. Place pie on baking sheet.
  • Bake 45 to 50 min. or until golden brown.
