Apple Cheddar Pie

Recipe by Claire Saffitz x Dessert Person

A New England‑inspired apple pie that pairs sweet, tart Honeycrisp apples with a buttery, flaky crust infused with aged Kerrygold cheddar. The filling is enriched with a caramelized heavy‑cream reduction, a splash of apple cider vinegar, vanilla, and optional orange bitters for depth. Finished with a classic lattice top, this pie delivers a perfect sweet‑salty balance for fall gatherings.

Critical Success Points

  • Macerating the apples to draw out moisture
  • Keeping butter and water ice‑cold when making the dough
  • Chilling the dough for a minimum of 2 hours
  • Caramelizing the heavy cream to develop flavor
  • Activating the cornstarch by bringing the filling to a boil
  • Pressing the bottom crust firmly into the pie plate
  • Weaving the lattice and crimping the edge properly
  • Freezing the assembled pie before baking
  • Baking at high heat then lowering temperature for even browning

Safety Warnings

  • Heavy cream can splatter when boiling; use a deep saucepan and watch closely.
  • The oven and baking sheet become extremely hot; use oven mitts.
  • Sharp knives and wheel cutter require careful handling.
