Approve! I think it’s a nice contrast of sweet and savoury. My family in Nova Scotia always has sharp cheddar with apple pie and it’s my understanding that it’s common there.

Approve! Best when the pie is still warm.

Sharper the better. I want my jaw to expand.

This is a New England Staple! Disapprovers are sad, sad people.

I’ve never tried it but I’m pretty sure I watched my Grandpa eat something like this before.
Approve and must try.

Try layering puff pastry, sharp cheddar, and thin sliced apples or pears dredged in cinnamon sugar. They bake up pretty quick and taste AMAZING

In Vermont we say, “Apple pie without cheese is like a hug without a squeeze.”

Absolutely. And it has to be the sharpest cheddar you can find. This is what they invented Vermont Shaving Cheese for.

Was he welsh? My welsh grandfather taught me this as well

Grandpa sounds like a legend.
My grandfather used to eat his cheese in whatever form was presented to him.
His favorite was friend cheese regardless of the type, as long as it was cheese and you could fry it.
Sprinkle the sucker with Maldon salt if it wasn’t salty cheese, eat with fresh rye, sourdough, or baguette, and either fruit, oil, tomatoes, and basil, or fresh out of the oven blueberry pie.
You’ll never eat cheese wrong either way. Never.

I had dinner at this girl’s house once and we had apple pie for dessert. Her dad was going on about how sharp cheddar is amazing on apple pie and he had some in the fridge his friend made. This girl kept calling him crazy, not jokingly but legitimately angry telling him to shut up and he’s nuts. So I was traumatized into never eating cheddar on apple pie

It’s excellent, as long as the cheese is good. I prefer a sharp cheddar.

Doesn’t matter one way or the other. If you like it, go for it!

Love it. The only thing better in my opinion is sharp cheddar next served with classic Christmas cake. Maybe it is because I get to enjoy that only around the holidays but such a great combination.

I remember reading about Almanzo Wilder eating this in the book Farmer Boy. I always thought it would be delicious and this picture confirms 💯

Blue cheese works too. Cheddar’s also great.

I recently learned that Wisconsin & Vermont have a law that requires restaurants to serve apple pie with a slice of cheese!

My grandpa will put a slice of Kraft on his apple pie. This is way better than

It’s delish. A lot of people do this. I wonder where it came from from?

Relatives from Wisconsin on my dad’s side. This is always their way. And I couldn’t agree more. Simply delicious.

Sometimes
Never tried but sounds good to me. Apples and pear slices are served with cheese boards all the time so sounds like it’s a great combo
Approve. Before I tried it, I couldn’t imagine it. After, I know… approve.
Yum, but melted is better
100% approved…
I learned it from Taxi Driver.
I like eating slices of apple with sharp cheddar but I don’t know if I can get on board with the pie. I would try it though.
It’s actually a pretty common thing to have apple pie with cheese. We don’t do it in my family but I’ve heard of this all the time.
I think this ought to be uncontroversial. A cheese plate always comes with fruit. The pairing is well acknowledged.
