6 Apples (peeled). Granny Smith or Honey Crisp work best!
2 frozen pie shells (or you can make your own pie dough)
1/2 stick Canna-butter
1/2 stick REGULAR Unsalted butter
3 Tablespoons of WONDRA flour
1/4 cup water
1/2 Cup Cane Sugar
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 TSP Biscoff Cookie Spread
1/2 cup dried cranberries  (optional)
1/4 cup candies pecans (optional)
1/2 Teaspoon salt
Cinnamon


HOW TO MAKE IT
  1. Preheat oven to 425º F. 
  2. Melt REGULAR Unsalted butter in a saucepan. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the flour to form a paste. Add water, cane sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer  for 3-4 mins.
  3. Fill one pie shell with apples, pecans and dried cranberries, mounded slightly. 
  4. Cut strips from other pie shell and set aside.
  5. Remove sauce from heat and immediately mix in Canna-butter, Biscoff Cookie Spread and remaining tablespoon of flour.
  6. Add Cinnamon and salt to taste
  7. Place pie shell STRIPS over apples to make a "lattice work" TOP crust. LEAVE SPACE between strips.
  8. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it fills the pie shell and does not run off the sides.
  9. Place pie (with pie pan)  on cookie sheet covered with foil so if it boils over it won't drip and burn on the bottom of your oven. 
  10. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350º. Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.

  5. Combine the vege-canna-butter mixture with the flour mixture, add ½ the cheese and fold everything together until the mixture is just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter (if you do, the bread will not be fluffy)
  6. Pour half the dough into loaf pan. 
  7. Place ¼ of the remaining cheese on top of dough and then add the rest of the dough on top
  8. Place the remaining cheese on top
  9. Bake at 350º for 45-55 Mins (until golden brown on top)
