This pie, modeled after recipes made by the ancient Romans, is cheesecake-like in texture and gets its gentle sweetness from a good bit of honey.

Ingredients

Makes 1 (9-inch) pie

For the crust:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1/2 cup rye flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus more for pan
1 tablespoon chilled apple cider vinegar

For the filling:

8 ounces chèvre goat cheese, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk

For the apples:

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
4 sweet apples, such as Fuji or Gala, cored, cut into 1/2" wedges
1/4 cup honey
12 thyme sprigs
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Special Equipment

A 9" pie pan
  1. Make the pie dough:

    Step 1

    Mix 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, rye flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup butter and rub into dry ingredients with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs; it's fine if some larger, flat pieces of butter remain. Add vinegar and 3 Tbsp. ice water. Mix with a spoon until a rough dough forms, adding more water by the tablespoon if it seems dry. (Alternatively, dough can be made in afood processor.)

    Step 2

    Turn dough out onto a work surface and gather into a ball, folding it over onto itself once or twice if needed. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill at least 1 hour.

    Step 3

    Arrange rack in bottom third of oven; place a rimmed baking sheet on rack. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 9" pie pan with butter. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 13" round. Roll dough loosely around rolling pin, then unfurl into pan. Gently lift and settle dough into pan. Trim excess dough with scissors, leaving a 1" overhang. Crimp as desired. Chill dough at least 30 minutes.

    Step 4

    Line shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or beans. Place on preheated baking sheet and bake until crust is set and beginning to brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, prick bottom of crust all over with a fork, then continue to bake until crust is golden brown and dry to the touch, 5-10 more minutes. Transfer pie pan to a cooling rack to cool slightly; return baking sheet to oven.

  2. Make the filling:

    Step 5

    Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Beat chèvre and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until incorporated. Add honey, sugar, and vanilla and continue to beat on medium speed until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed until incorporated. Add milk and beat on low speed until incorporated.

    Step 6

    Pour filling into pie shell, return to preheated baking sheet, and bake until filling is mostly set but center jiggles slightly, 35–40 minutes. Remove from oven, place another pie pan or rimmed baking sheet upside down on top of pie, and let cool to room temperature. (The inverted pan helps keep the filling from cracking as it cools.) Then chill until set, about 1 hour.

  3. Make the apples:

    Step 7

    Melt butter in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add apples and toss to coat. Cook 2 minutes, then add honey, thyme, and salt. Cook, tossing carefully to avoid breaking up apples, until apples are softened and caramelized and sauce has thickened, 10–15 minutes.

    Step 8

    Serve pie slightly chilled or at room temperature with apple mixture alongside.

  4. Do Ahead

    Step 9

    Dough can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled. Crimped dough in pan can be formed 1 day ahead; keep chilled.

  • I used really great honey and then rye from Anson Mills … everyone absolutely loved the dessert. It is very rich and the crust had a great nutty taste. I would definitely recommend this recipe and will be making it again.

  • I wasn’t sure how this would be received ...just because historical recipes can have flavor profiles that can be odd to modern eaters. But my four guests all raved over this, so I’d call it a hit. The honey and goat cheese meld flavors so that neither are overpowering but both remain notable. I have a lactose intolerant friend, so I used soy cream cheese and soy milk...then he’s fine with goat cheese. I was worried about whether it would set, but these subs worked perfectly usimg the same proportions. This makes a special treat for someone who can’t have milk products. The crust is worth the extra effort, but is a bit difficult to work with and definitely required the par baking. This would still be a great dessert with a traditional pie crust. The apples were a perfect addition, but this would shine with a wide variety of fruit accompaniments.

  • I really enjoy this recipe I have used Fuji and Pink Lady apples and both were great. I find that the filling takes longer to set than the time specified and usually test out the jiggle level in increments of five minutes. I suggest erring on the side of more jiggly to avoid cracking the filling. Love the tip regarding covering the pie while it is cooling. The crust has a tendency to collapse into itself if you don’t blind bake it sufficiently so use the full suggested time. I wish the recipe included measurements by weight.

  • This pie is delicious. The crust is a lot of work but has such a great flavor. I try to cut back on sugar where I can so I cut 1/2 C out of the filling and didn’t miss it. The apples are unbelievable... I dream about them. It’s also yummy with a blueberry compote! Have made twice since thanksgiving and may have to make this for my birthday next week. :)
