Ingredients
3 pounds Granny Smith apples, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 lemon, juiced
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks
Pie Dough
1 egg, beaten
4 ounces Sharp Cheddar, grated
vanilla ice cream

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, the sugars, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom. Continue to saute for 2 minutes. Season the apples with nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.

Prepare pan with dough and fill with apple mixture. Toss chunks of butter on top of apples and cover with 2nd pie crust. Seal dough around edges and cut away excess. Make slits in dough and brush top with beaten egg. Place the pie in the oven, and bake for 1 hour.

Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Return the pie to the oven and continue to cook for several minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. Let cool to room temperature before slicing, about 1 hour. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
