I have not made this in years. Think the people who know me best have probably never even tasted it. Something I used to make to take to a covered dish event many years ago. They would be standing in line for seconds, and begging for the recipe, so I guess it's pretty good.
I bought a bag of apples recently to make it, and it never came together. So I am going to do it today to take to the weekly gathering of my Bible study group. We meet at a house up on the north side of town each week for fellowship, eating, and occasionally get around to being productive by talking about a video we'll view to improve our personal ministry and lives in general.
Various folk who regularly appear will bring something snacky, and the host family provides drinks, tea, coffee, sodas, etc. I have taken easy stuff like chips and salsa, or a good pie (written about here) that is suitable for the diabetics amongst us. ( As if they were conscientious ,or even the least bit concerned about what they put in their mouths!) But this time I will take the apple dish and hope they will all fall off their chairs with delight.
Cheese Apple Casserole
(Found in the Ga. Dept. of Ag., publication: Farmer's Market Bulletin
10 Granny smith apples (or any variety of tart apple) peeled, cored and thinly sliced
juice of one lemon
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
8 oz. sharp cheddar, shredded
1 stick butter, cut into pieces, softened
Combine apple slices, lemon juice, 1/4 cup sugar and water in 9 x13 inch baking pan or casserole.
Combine flour with the 1/2 cup sugar and shredded cheese in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pasty blender, or combine in food processor. Sprinkle topping over apples. Bake 350 for 45 min to 1 hour. Serve warm. A great brunch dish - not to sweet, and goes well with breakfast foods. Yield: 8-10 servings.
