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

Can’t say I’ve had it with both cheese and ice cream but I’m intrigued...

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.

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.

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). 0f32dd58c8b51aecf17809bbc10d4071.jpg

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.

Maybe I’m in the minority on this thread, but that looks like shit. I am sober, though.

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

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.

Well. to be fair, I said sober.

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.

Rookie move

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

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.

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.

Went fishing for tuna, came home with a red snapper.

Haha yeah woulda been a lot cooler story if I'd finished my pie, set down my fork, asked the waitress for a dance, and took her back to my trailer house and fucked her brains out.

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