Open Crust Apple Cheddar Pie

Open Crust Apple Cheddar Pie

               This pie is in honor of my mother who always baked slices of cheddar cheese into her apple pies.  Don't turn your nose up at the cheese in a pie.  How often have you served wedges of apple and cheese?  They go great together.

Ingredients:
               Pie crust to fit a 9-10" pie can (or oven proof skillet like I used) or store bought crust
               1 21 ounce can of apple pie filling
               1 Tablespoon Apple Pie Spice
               1/2 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
               1/4 Cup Sugar
               1/4 Cup Pancake mix
               2 Tablespoons butter
               Carmel Ice Cream Syrup

Directions:
              pour pie filling into crust
              sprinkle with pie spice
              top with cheese
              mix pancake mix and sugar and then sprinkle over pie
              cut butter into 6 to 8 pieces and place on top of pie
              fold edge of crust over the top edge of the pie
              Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 25-35 minutes until topping is golden brown.
              drizzle with carmel syrup
