This slightly unusual apple pie takes advantage of
the compatibility of apples and cheese. As with most
British apple pies they are best made with the sharpest
possible apples. If you can find it a good English
Cooker is a great apple for any pie but if the "Cooker"
cannot be found try a Bramley.
Wensleydale cheese has a slightly crumbly texture
to it and just a suggestion of the taste of honey
in it. It is produced in Yorkshire in the town of
Hawes
Serves: 6-8
Preparation Time: 30 min.
Cooking Time: 30 min. |
Directions |
1. For the pastry, sift the flour
and salt into a mixing bowl then add the shortening
and butter rubbing it in with your fingers or with
a pastry cutter until it looks and feels like fine
breadcrumbs.
2. Gradually add the cold water until you can form the mix into a firm dough.
3. Knead gently for a few minutes on a lightly floured surface then cut in half.
4. Roll out the first half to a round and line the base of your pie dish. Dont forget to prick the pastry base all over with a fork.
5. To fill the pie, begin with 1/2 of the apple in a layer, then mix the sugar, holding back a tablespoon for later, with the ground cloves. Sprinkle half of this mixure over the apples in the dish.
6. Follow this with half of the Wensleydale Cheese and now complete the next set of layers with the remainder of the apples, followed by the remainder of the sugar/clove mixture and finally the remainder of the cheese.
7. Dampen the edges of the pastry base with a little
water, then roll out the second half of the pastry
to create the top and lay over the pie dish, pressing
down the edges allaround to creat a seal.
8. Trim the pastry around the edges and decorate by creating
a fluted pattern all the way around with the back
of a dinner knife. To get a little fancier, use the trimmings from the pastry to cut small leaves to decorate the top. cut a small cross in the center of the pastry top to allow steam to escape. Brush with the cream then sprinkle with the sugar you held back earlier.
9. Bake in a preheated 425 F oven for about 30 minutes or until a nice golden brown. Serve Hot
