• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix the light brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apple slices. Toss to coat the apples evenly.

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Layer the coated apple slices evenly in the dish.

Step 6

In another bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, melted butter, and heavy cream. Stir until the mixture is well combined and slightly creamy.

Step 7

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the apple layer in the baking dish.

Step 8

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the cheese topping is golden and bubbling.

Step 9

Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a sweet and savory side dish or dessert.
