Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ½ cup of the brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, the ginger and nutmeg; stir and set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples and chiles with lemon juice. Add apple mixture to the sugar mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle bottom of pie crust with ½ cup cheddar cheese. Fill with apple mixture.

Cut slices of pie and drizzle with warm cheddar sauce on the.

My tip - Use a good quality sharp cheddar cheese. Quality doesn’t need to be fancy, sometimes the most luscious recipes include just a few honest ingredients. You can really taste the difference that a good quality cheese makes in this dish.
