It is a similar savory and sweet mix. I love it, but is it mostly a midwest thing?

I’ve only done it with cheddar cheese, anyone use anything different?

Question:
Cheese on your apple pie?

Choices:
Oh yeah!
No way!
What is wrong with you people?

 

Just like salted watermelon (or fruit in general). Nope, nope nope.

Vanilla ice cream, maybe. No cheese.

^^^^^^^^^^
That, only without the ", maybe."

Extra Sharp Cheddar with my Apple pie. But not on it.

What?!? Why?

Vanilla ice cream OR sharp cheddar. Not both at the same time.

Put a thick slice of cheddar on the slice of pie and put the plate in the oven until the cheese melts.

If you haven't tried it, you should.

I hate cheese, so NO. I also don't put salt on my watermelon--I did used to salt my cantaloupe, though, but I've not done it for years.

Never tried it that way, but I love both, so maybe some day.

"Apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze"

-My great grandmother.

(Secret - I actually don't use it every time I eat apple pie).

OHHHHH NOOOOOO VI...

i just threw up a little

And my father, although I don't recall his ever putting cheese on apple pie.

Love pie! It's all good!

--depending on type (e.g. apple) with a nice slice of sharp cheddar on the side... never on top!

American cheese on HOT apple pie. My wife says sharp cheddar cheese.

It's definitely a New England thing. Apple pie with cheddar makes a great breakfast. Just ask Daniel Webster.

I voted "what is wrong with you people"...I've never tried it but it almost sounds as bad as non-sweetened ice tea

P A G A N !!!! unsweetened ice tea is GREAT! HA!

Cheese on rare occasions, but more likely to be vanilla ice cream.

It's a Southern thing, I think. The first time my grandmother served me apple pie with a slice of cheddar, I didn't realize it was cheese. It looked like cheese, but it was on pie, you see, and therefore had to be some sort of sweet- some weird icing. But, uh, no- dang, grandma- that's cheese.

Yeah, it sounds and looks odd, but if it's done with right, it's tasty. You need a mellow cheddar, something that lends more to texture than flavor. The cheese should be room temperature when placed atop your warm pie, then allowed to reside in a warm oven for roughly two sips of a mint julep. Mind you- your cheese is not melted, but rather in a custard-like state.

Gotta do it right, y'see, and then you shall understand.
