Strangely, I couldn't really taste the cheddar cheese in the crust (even though I used a really sharp cheddar), and the green chilies were pretty mild too. Also, the crust turned out pretty tough, which makes me think I overworked it or didn't cut the butter small enough. I could use a pastry blender, I guess. Still, I'll give this one another shot some day.
And here's a traditional apple pie, for people who dislike either cheddar or chili peppers in their pie.

Impressive! If they tasted as good as they look, they must have been delicious! Regarding the crust, it is recommended to handle the dough as little as possible, to create a tender and flakey crust. Not always easy to do, when shaping pie dough.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm. Did you eat it with salsa?
ReplyDeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteI can't quite imagine what green chilis would taste like in an apple pie, but the cheddar cheese sounds good. Perhaps you'll have to make one of these pies when you're home for Christmas so I can try it :)
