Apple Cheese Pie
Who doesn’t have a sweet tooth 🦷 once in a while? I do! I enjoy making desserts but only when there’s people coming over otherwise David and I have to eat them all by ourselves. The odd time, I make a dessert just for us and when it happens, I carefully choose because we’ll be eating it for a few days. During fall, there’s one I don’t even have to think about making and it’s my Apple Cheese Pie!
When it comes to this dessert, if guests are over or not, this is a pie I love to make. It’s so yummy! It’s our treat during late summer and early fall with all the beautiful apples 🍏🍎 we buy at the local orchards.
This recipe has a unique twist to it. I know many of you have a slice of cheese 🧀 along with your apple pie 🍎🥧 but in mine, the cheese is actually in the pie with the apples. As much as it’s unusual, this gives the pie an incredible flavor!
Think about it… The saltiness from the cheese combined with the apples, cinnamon and other ingredients complement each other beautifully! It’s like a match made in baking heaven!!! It goes together like bread and butter 🍞🧈, peaches and cream 🍑, peanut butter and jam… I think you get the idea!
Homemade is the best and if you want to make your own dough, here’s a recipe… Foolproof Pie Dough! I tried my mother’s recipe and it was a disaster 😫! I’m serious, I could’ve killed someone with it because it was so hard. Then I gave my aunts’ recipe a shot. Same thing until this one. Now, this is my go-to pie crust recipe!
This delectably delicious Apple Cheese Pie is a yummy twist on an old favorite. Served with my scrumptious No Churn Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 🍦, it’s sinfully delicious in every bite! Next time you want to make an awesome dessert for fall, you know which recipe to try…
