APPLE CHEDDAR PIE WITH SWEET POTATO CRUST
From: Julie C.
Makes 8-10 servings

FOR THE CRUST:
1 cup mashed, cooked sweet potato
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup melted butter
2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder

FOR THE FILLING:
1 apple (I use a Granny Smith) peeled, cored and grated
1/2 cup sweet wine (a dessert wine is best)
1 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups cream
Good pinch nutmeg

TO MAKE THE CRUST:
In a bowl combine all ingredients for the crust; mix well. Press dough into a large greased pie plate (I love these doughs you don't have to roll out!!!!!!)

TO PREPARE THE FILLING:
Marinade apples in wine for about 4 hours.

Drain apples well. Sprinkle apples and cheese over base of pie crust.

Beat eggs and cream together; add nutmeg. Pour into pie crust.

Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 45 minutes. Leave to stand in the plate for 15 minutes before cutting.

This is great cold also with a good salad and chutney, I've also taken it on picnics and the children have taken it in lunch boxes. Its also good weekend fare for when you're busy and everyone's in and out!
