Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place the sliced apples evenly in the prepared casserole dish.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apples.
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the sugared apples.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Pour the melted butter into the flour mixture and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly consistency.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the cheese layer in the casserole dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or dessert. It pairs well with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if served as a dessert!
