Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large tart apples (e.g., Granny Smith)
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, mix the light brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apple slices. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Layer the coated apple slices evenly in the dish.
In another bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, melted butter, and heavy cream. Stir until the mixture is well combined and slightly creamy.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the apple layer in the baking dish.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the cheese topping is golden and bubbling.
Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a sweet and savory side dish or dessert.
