My assumption was that the cheese replaced ice cream. I still have not seen any proof the text was from an actual chef and not a homeless guy

November 13, 20214 yr Decided to try the apple pie with cheese thing this evening. Picked up a nice slice of apple pie along with blackberry cobbler as a backup.

Instead of cutting the cheese into strips, use a large cheese grater. With strips instead of a grated cheese, you risk dragging all of the cheese off in a cut and miss the goodness. Otherwise, the pic above is the money shot.

November 13, 20214 yr Alright, I'm attempting my first apple pie today. Wife (no pics) saw me and is assisting. Now, pie weights and precooking the crust is happening, presumably for some perfectly good reason. Baking never has been my specialty, but I did okay with making the crust it seems. Oh, and I've got some sharp, white cheddar in the fridge. I may try it on a bite just to see what all of this insanity is about. Edited November 13, 20214 yr by dcbc
November 13, 20214 yr Good luck, we’re all counting on you. Apple’s not my favorite but I won’t turn down a slice.

November 14, 20214 yr The Country Barn in Amarillo used to have apple pie with cheddar on the dessert menu. It was on the menu for years, must have been popular for it to have remained on the menu.
November 14, 20214 yr Texan Cafe apple pie, Tillamook sharp cheddar, and Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla.First bite was just apple pie - good Granny Smith apples, nicely seasoned, not too sweet. Second bite with cheddar was not noticeably better, but not worse. Third bite with ice cream was terrible.From now on, I'll choose pecan, pumpkin, buttermilk, lemon chess, strawberry rhubarb, key lime, cherry, coconut cream, lemon meringue, or chocolate silk over apple (with our without cheddar).
November 14, 20214 yr The problem is there’s not enough cheese on that slice. You really gotta pour it on.
November 14, 20214 yr Hell to the yes, but I’ve always done cheese in lieu of ice cream. Apples and cheese pair fantastically together. Apple pie is down my list, prefer a good pecan pie, key lime pie, lemon pie, buttermilk pie or cobbler of any sort. But if it’s apple pie a sharp slice of cheddar is how to do it.

November 14, 20214 yr Last pic. It turned out great. I tried the white sharp cheddar and liked it more than I thought I would. I melted it after I took the picture. May not be my go to, but glad I tried it.

November 14, 20214 yr Little known fact, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was a big fan of apple pie with sharp cheddar. Some did not share his views.
November 15, 20214 yr With the melted, good cheddar, I definitely got a brie and fruit vibe, and now I'm craving it again. There's definitely something to it as long as we're not talking putting Kraft singles over a Marie Callendars frozen pie . . . sober.

Sneaks up on you, makes the pie less of just a sugar rush.

November 18, 20214 yr I think most people who voted no to the cheese have never actually tried apple pie with cheese.
November 18, 20214 yr I just talked to my fiancee about this revelation, and she said "yeah. It's like putting mustard on watermelon, or cinnamon rolls with "chili."

November 18, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, Landomatic said: I think most people who voted no to the cheese have never actually tried apple pie with cheese. I voted no before and after my experiment. Granted, I'm not much of a fan of apple pie to begin with.

November 18, 20214 yr I waited until after I tried it to vote, and based on my experiment, I voted "yes." I would have voted "no" before trying it.
November 18, 20214 yr 2 hours ago, workswithseed said: I just talked to my fiancee about this revelation, and she said "yeah. It's like putting mustard on watermelon, or cinnamon rolls with "chili." My midwestern grade school always served cinnamon rolls when we had chili. Not sure why, but I didn’t complain. Of course they also served pepperoni pizza with milk to drink. Something like that now would devastate my innards.
November 18, 20214 yr In full disclosure, it might have a bit of nostalgia factor for me. First time I tried it, I was a kid in a really cool old small town Texas diner (don't even remember where) surrounded by a bunch of old Texas ranchers, who to me, felt like a bunch of real cowboys which might has well have been super heroes (spurs on, sweat stained cowboy hats, etc). One of those "grandpa said I could get pie and ice cream" type moments that kids love. It showed up and I turned my nose up at it because of the cheese. I think the waitress or my mom or someone probably said something like, "that's how real cowboys eat apple pie" or something like that. So, I ate it. And I loved it.
