Cheddar Apple Pie Bars

Yield: 2 dozen bars

Preparation Time: and Active Time: 30 min

Ingredients

3 cups plus 4 teaspoons all purpose flour, divided

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) cold butter, cubed

2 1/2 cups sugar, divided

4 to 5 tablespoons ice water

6 ounces 724 Wisconsin Select Aged Cheddar, shredded (1 1/2 cups)

6 medium tart apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon apple pie spice

Vanilla ice cream

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place 3 cups flour and cold butter in a food processor; cover and pulse just until butter pieces resemble the size of peas. Add 1 1/2 cups sugar; cover and pulse until combined. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition until dough just holds together when pinched. Add cheddar; cover and pulse until dough is crumbly.

Press half of the dough in bottom of a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish.

Place apples in a large bowl. Combine the apple pie spice, remaining flour and sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle on fruit and toss lightly. Spoon apple mixture over crust.

Sprinkle with remaining dough. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until fruit is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars. Serve with ice cream.

Cheesemonger Tip:
Hook's One Year Sharp Cheddar has rich flavor that is slightly sharper than a medium cheddar. The cheddar flavor remains even after baking.
