1. You will next need to peel, cut, and core the apples.

2. Then place them in the pie pan in a layered formation.

3. Next add the zest of lemon to the apples,

4. Then add a pinch of salt.

5. Then I sprinkle the 1/3 cup of sugar over the apples.

6. Finally, slice the Tablespoon of butter on top of the apple slice.

Next Steps: 

Then you will need to cover the apples with the remaining cheddar cheese crust.

I slice four notches in my pie. Then I place it in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. You can brush the pie with an egg if you wish. I didn’t do that to mine I used a little butter since my children are allergic to egg.

Finally, enjoy this amazing dessert.
