Apple Pie and Cheese
My grandmother served apple pie with sharp cheddar cheese. She would say, “Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze.”
My hubby never heard of this combo. He was sure no one else ever heard of it either (must be a cultural thing–Grandma is from upstate NY). So I was delighted to find a restaurant that offered apple pie and cheese.
I can’t imagine apple pie without cheese. It would be like pumpkin pie without whipped cream.
Well hubby is still not a fan of apple pie and cheese but he is hooked on apples and cheese. We’re all eating a snack of apples and cheese as I type.
It is his favorite snack. Sometimes Swiss, something extra sharp cheddar. Our favorite apples are Fuji, Delicious and Granny. If you haven’t tried this combo, you should. Yum.
I like red seedless grapes and string cheese
and this time of year apples and anything!

It’s a combo that I love too! I was first introduced to it while away at college in Massachusetts.
Cheese and Apple pie sound good to me! It’s the mix of salty and sweet without being crazy that makes it so good!
Apples and cheese, grapes and cheese, both of these are scrumptious snacks! Just added cheddar to my shopping list so we can enjoy some with the apples we picked recently. Thanks for the reminder.
I have heard of it and would love to try it.
How do you eat it? Do you take a bite of pie and then a bite of cheese?

I grew up in Nashville, TN and that was the only way we had apple pie. We got it every week at the Woolworth’s lunch counter.
Hi Robin,
LOL, I love this post. When I was a young bride and my DH was in seminary, I was introduced to this idea. At first I thought: “what a crazy idea!” I personally like ice cream on mine. However, here lately I have discovered the benefits of it (as I age) the protein in the cheese helps process all of the sugar in the pie.

I first learned of cheese with apple pie when I waited tables at a Steak & Ale in college. One of the waitresses used to melt cheddar cheese on the slice of pie. I thought it was disgusting until she let me taste it. I’ve been a fan ever since.

Great website…and cool article man…thanx for the great post…keep on posting such article… for which I really owe a debt of gratitude to my mother and father, who not only guided me financially through my first credit card transaction, but also helped pay for my college tuition and generally kept me on the right path monetarily.
