  • Cook Time: 1 hour
  • Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
  • Wine Pairing: Dry Creek Vineyard Dry Chenin Blanc

 

For the crust and filling:

  • Frozen or homemade pie crust, for 9-inch pie pan
  • 10 tart apples (such as Granny Smith or Gravenstein), sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons K&D Mercantile Estate Honey
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted, softened

 

For the topping:

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 8 tablespoons butter, unsalted, cut into ¼-inch cubes, softened

 

Method:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with pie crust, trimming excess crust off the sides. In a large bowl, fold together all filling ingredients and spoon mixture into the pie pan.

 

To make the topping, combine flour, sugar and cheese in a large bowl. Add butter, and mix until a crumb forms. Sprinkle all the topping evenly over the pie until fully covered. Bake at 375°F for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown. Cool at least 2 hours before serving.

 

Serves 8.
