Give thanks for a pie spiked with cheddar, whiskey
Apples and cheddar cheese are such a wonderful pairing, they often are combined in pies. The result is deliciously sweet, with just a hint of creamy-savory for balance.
We love this combination, but we decided we could make it better. We started by adding a couple tablespoons of whiskey (we like bourbon, but go with what you prefer), which lends a wonderful aroma and richness to the juices of the apples and cheese.
Next, we replaced the usual top crust with a crumble made from crushed salted butter crackers tossed with melted butter (because, after all, more butter makes everything better) and sugar, resulting in yet another sweet-savory match. The result is as addictive as it is beautiful.
