Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Apple Filling:

  • 4 cups tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup crushed butter crackers (like Ritz)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup additional shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the baking dish.
  3. Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, crushed crackers, melted butter, brown sugar, and flour until crumbly. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  4. Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Best served warm as a sweet-savory side or a unique dessert.
  • Try using Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for the perfect balance of tart and sweet.
  • Serve alongside roasted meats or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
