Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1

    In food processor, pulse CHEETOS® Crunchy Cheese Flavored Snacks until finely ground (makes about 1 3/4 cups).

  • 2

    Pie Dough: In food processor, pulse flour, 1/2 cup ground CHEETOS® and sugar until well combined. Add butter and pulse until crumbly. With motor running, pour 3 tbsp ice water into food processor until dough forms a ball. If needed, add up to 1 tbsp additional ice water. Form dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 45 minutes or until firm.

  • 3

    Apple Filling: In large skillet set over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add apples and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until starting to soften. Stir in sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes or until apples are tender.

  • 4

    Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, cornstarch and vanilla.

  • 5

    Stir cornstarch slurry into apple mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup ground CHEETOS®. Let cool completely.

  • 6

    Streusel Topping: In medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ground CHEETOS®, brown sugar and flour until well combined. Using fingertips, incorporate butter into brown sugar mixture until crumbly; chill in refrigerator until ready to use.

  • 7

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange oven rack in lowest position. Grease 9-inch pie plate.

  • 8

    On lightly floured work surface, roll pie dough to 1/4-inch thickness and transfer to prepared pie plate. Leaving 1-inch overhang, trim edges. Fold under excess dough and crimp crust. Chill for 15 minutes.
