Instructions

  1. Step 1: To make the crust, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl. Cut in 6 tbsp cold, cubed unsalted butter with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 3 tbsp cold water, mixing until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 375°F. On a floured surface, roll out chilled dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Arrange 2 thinly sliced Quebec apples evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves over the apples. Sprinkle 1 tbsp granulated sugar on top.
  4. Step 4: Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed. Brush the exposed dough with 1 beaten egg. Bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before slicing.
