Ingredients

1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
5 cups peeled and sliced tart apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
TOPPING:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Press pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, crimping the edges.
Toss apples and lemon juice in a bowl until well-combined. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar and cinnamon. Pour mixture over apples; toss to combine. Transfer mixture into prepared pie crust.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, butter and cheddar cheese. Sprinkle mixture over apples. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°. Bake until crust is browned and apples are bubbly, another 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.
