kewl :D ill try that it sounds gooood!!

Not Dutch. Pennslyvania Dutch.

My Canadian wife tells me it’s a dutch tradition..?!
I’m from holland, lived there until I moved to Canada when I was 27 and I have never heard of it. I think I would have but I cannot seem to convince her.

is there a name for apple pie with cheese on it ,?

It’s totally normal to have cheese on your apple pie, most often sharp cheddar. I have no idea why people find it so strange. Haven’t you guys seen Taxi Driver?

I followed the other FMer to the WIRED party for more drinks of the week! A single malt with a draft Anchor Steam chaser (gotta love SF). It was great to see you.

I grew up in Houston, TX, and I always thought this was standard fare! I’m always surprised by how strange people think it is. Once you taste it it makes perfect sense.

My dad says the “apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze” as well, although he doesn’t usually eat it that way in practice. He is medium-old (60), and is from the Canadian west coast… although he may have inherited the tradition from his mother and grandparents, from Saskatchewan.

Great to experience an FM night out with authors vicariously through your post. I’m on the wrong coast, but hope to participate for real sometime!

I’m on Canada’s East Coast and my dad LOVES what he calls “hard cheese” (it’s mild cheddar) on apple pie. I’ve never seen it baked in, though!

I was going to say the Taxi Driver thing! I’ve been wanting to try it (however strange it sounded to me at the time) ever since I first saw the movie.

I’m fairly certain the cheese thing (and the above post pretty much confirms it) is a canadian tradition. I’ve seen it pretty often, but I have to disagree with my fellow canadian and say that not everybody over here loves it. Definitely more of an east coast/central canada tradition than west coast.

Just an FYI, I think the cheese a la mode pie was common in the 60s and 70s. In the movie Taxi Driver, Robert DeNiro orders a slice of apple pie with cheese on it. I found it strange too.

Head on up here to Canada - so far as I knew, everybody ate their apple pie with cheese (just like eating pumpkin pie with whipped cream and honey — yu-um!!!).
On that pushing daisies show, I think they even pair the cheese that they bake right in - as opposed cold on the side, like we do up here - perfectly to the type of apple. Could get quite creative with that…

Woo! The double dog dare worked!

thanks for a fun night :) the pie was cheesy, appley, creamy, bizarre. my turkey burger wasn’t half as interesting.

My grandpa would put cheddar on his apple pie.
I like it too.

I’ve heard (from someone elderly, if memory serves) that Apple pie without cheese is like a kiss without squeeze - that being said, if its true - I’ll take my kisses without the squeeze!
