Cheddar Cheese and Onion Pie

6 to 8 servings (makes one 9-inch pie)

Thinly sliced apples lend a subtle sweetness to this savory pie, which can be served hot, warm or cold. And it's substitute-friendly: Pastry-challenged cooks can use a ready-for-baking pie crust, leeks instead of onions, and steamed diced potatoes instead of apple slices.

Adapted from food writer and television producer Tamasin Day-Lewis.

For the crust:

For the cheese and onion filling:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 large onion, finely chopped
