Happy Pi Day! Cheez-It is the apple of our pie 🥧😃 Enjoy our cheezy take on this classic recipe:
 
For the crust:
 
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 cups Cheez-It Crackers
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
1 ½ sticks (¾ cup) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
⅓ cup ice water
1 large egg, whisked

For the filling:
 
8 large Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled, and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground allspice
½ tsp kosher salt
1 lemon, juiced

Instructions:
 
In a food processor, pulse Cheez-It Crackers until finely ground. Add flour, sugar, and salt, and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until the mixture reaches pea-sized crumbles. Slowly stream in water while pulsing until the dough comes together but is still shaggy.
 
Divide the dough into two equal pieces and shape into flat discs. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
 
Preheat oven to 375F. In a large bowl, mix apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and lemon juice. Set aside.
 
Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan and add apple filling. Roll out the second disc of dough and place it on top of the filling. Crimp the edges.
 
Brush the top of the pie with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Top with additional Cheez-It Crackers.
 
Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool for at least 3 hours before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve with vanilla ice cream and more Cheez-It Crackers.
