Ingredients

  • 1 pound apples
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Zest of one small lemon
  • Juice of ½ lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • ½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust from a pack of two
  • Egg wash

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Peel and core your apples, then slice them thin.
  • Melt butter in a medium frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the apples, cinnamon, and sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until they just start to become transparent, but not enough that they become mushy (about 5 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Unroll pie crust onto prepared cookie sheet.
  • Stir lemon, zest, walnuts, and cheese into the apple mixture. Pour apple mixture onto the center of the crust and spread it out so that there is about a 1” border around the edge. Fold up the edge over the apples, crimping as needed to go around the circle, creating a crust.
  • Whisk egg with a splash of water and using a small brush or your fingers, spread some around the edge of the crust. (This will give it a golden brown look.) You won’t use all the egg.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust starts to get golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
