I made this pie and I only used the 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and it was horrible, the cayenne pepper just ruins the pie! When you bite into it the hot and spicy is all you can taste, I do not recommend this at all!

I used this recipe, omitted the cheese, used a pre-made frozen pie crust in the tin, and one pre-made refridgerated pie crust that you just unroll for the top, and it is wonderful. One of the best apple pies that I've eaten. The mixture is the perfect flavor, and comes out perfect everytime I've made it (3 times now. In my pie I used the red delicious apple and sliced them in 1/16 sized slices (I use an apple corer/slicer and then slice again. Don't forget to make a couple of slices on the top crust for air circulation.

I liked this recipe quite a bit - I love cheese straws. The prep was a bit involved (I don't make a lot of pies, so making a crust is not old hat for me but the result was good. I would rec'd the recipe. The crust is more forgiving than other crusts (i.e. it won't get hard if you overwork it but it is difficult to roll right out of the fridge (but that isn't uncommon from my experience with making other pies.

I was going to make this for a family cookout, but I think the kick of the cayenne might be a little much for some kids and I think the cayenne adds a lot to the recipe so I don't want to skip it.
