1 pie crust, unbaked
3 medium apples, (Honey-Crisp variety), peeled and sliced thinly
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
3 large eggs
1 & 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Press pie crust into a 9″ pie plate and set aside. Sauté apples in butter, sugar and cinnamon until the apples are tender, about 5-8 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk eggs and heavy whipping cream together until well blended. Place apples in the bottom of crust and cover evenly with shredded cheese. Gently pour egg and cream mixture over the apples and cheese. Bake quiche in the middle of a preheated 325 degree F oven for 35-40 minutes (depending on the accuracy of your oven), or until set (quiche no longer jiggles when shaken). Remove from oven, allow to cool to about room temperature, then slice before serving. May be served at room temperature or chilled.
