For real?  I was one of the doubters in the original discussion, but when Tom Joad’s chef friend confirmed things, I’ve been thinking about it. 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

A fucking cheddar cheese covered, apple pie eating son of a bitch !

 

The apple pie is cheddar cheese covered not me.

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.

[Underdog 28765]

An abomination on that list.

Small critique based on experience. 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.

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.

Good luck, we’re all counting on you.  

Apple’s not my favorite but I won’t turn down a slice.

I like it fine, but our family always leaned pecan or an occasional peach cobbler.

[Underdog 28765]

Two very, very fine choices I might add, love them both.

Superior.  But apple's not bad.

[dcbc 14507]

In the oven now.

[dcbc 14507]

Will let it rest for a couple of hours.

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. 

[Jerry Callo 8717]

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).

[LW Goatman 1124]

The problem is there’s not enough cheese on that slice. You really gotta pour it on.

 

[956 Worldwide 34746]

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.

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.

it does look like shit.   if that is the quality of apple pie you are eating then no wonder it is so far down your list 

[El Diablo 4232]

Little known fact, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was a big fan of apple pie with sharp cheddar. Some did not share his views. 

[dcbc 14507]

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.

That’s how it is. Sneaks up on you, makes the pie less of just a sugar rush.

Shits getting real up in here. Well done my friend.

Wait, Kraft singles on a Marie calendars is wrong?  Why wasn’t I told this sooner, GDIT!

Well. to be fair, I said sober. 

I'm just not big on American cheese.

I think most people who voted no to the cheese have never actually tried apple pie with cheese.

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."

Well, not sure about either one of those two things. But, yeah...it's definitely that whole sweet/savory thing that can be magical. Like dunking your fries is your milkshake or salted caramel whatever.

Ask the 22 year old onboard to eat sushi, and he says raw fish ? no fucking way.
 

 Ask the 24 yr old onboard after a tuna fishing trip, and his opinion has shifted a wee bit.

I voted no before and after my experiment.  Granted, I'm not much of a fan of apple pie to begin with.

Yeah you’d need to be an apple pie fan to begin with I guess.

[dcbc 14507]

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.

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.

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.

And thrown an underdone hamburger, which inadvertently hit a psychotic ex-con in the back of the head.
