I'm sorry it was too quiche-y for you! If you knock down the egg yolks to one then there should still be some cohesion, or if you eliminate them entirely then you'd want to make sure to add in some superfine flour. The cheese on this one is more of a garnish, since the base of this is a cream-and-veg pie that I make (exactly which veg I'll use is dependent upon what I've got fresh from the garden and/or market) that I don't normally put cheese in (because I'm usually too lazy to grate it. Don't get me wrong, I love cheese dearly, just sometimes I'm lazy!), but if you double the cheese (maybe treble) and decrease the cream by a quarter (or perhaps by more, basically just pour it in until it gets full and then stop) that should make it much more cheesy. If you actually make your own dough you can also mix cheese into that! Also, if you make perhaps a bit more of the onions and apples then the recipe calls for, then it's got so much good stuff in it that you don't notice the creamy bits as much.
As far as the spices not mixing with the cream, I'm betting that it's mostly the nature of the cream substitute. When I make it the spices mix fine with the cream portion but when I pour it into the pie, then there's usually areas of higher and lower concentrations of spices, but never so severe that I've noticed it when eating it. (If you look at the PDF version, in the "process pictures" section for this recipe, you'll brown swirls of the cinnamon. That I incorrectly labeled 'nutmeg' because it was late and I didn't proof my own stuff as much as I should have).
If you do make a second version of the pie, please do let me know how it turns out! (And did you read the story associated (http://codenamebacon.wetpaint.com/page/A+Apple+Pie) with it? You should, it's utterly awesome! I love how winkingstar read my mind and very nearly perfectly captured this Keller as I saw her.)
Besides, it's pie! Pie for dinner! How can that not be fantastic? Heheee, the original caption for this picture (on the PDF version) started off with a line something like: Jennifer had always loved the pie, even after she was old enough to realise it wasn't a dessert Of course, the original caption was about three times as long as the final caption, and winkingstar did incorporate some of the elements of it into her story.
I love the story-parts of your entry here, like Jav's reaction to the apple peels (I leave them on because (a) lazy and (b) they're tasty and (c) healthy, but that's just me) and the story about dumbo ears :) And your store owner is very nice! I shall send him electronic hugs for being helpful!

Hmm, me thinks I have rambled on sufficiently!
