The Apple Pie Topping That Divides Our Nation
the take out ^
Posted on 09/14/2022 12:08:16 PM PDT by mylife
Seeking an excuse to eat some apple pie this fall, I decided to write about one of the things that’s been a mystery to me since moving to Vermont about a decade ago: cheddar cheese on apple pie. I had no idea that investigating this custom would be a headfirst dive into a pool of stark division.
People have strong feelings about cheddar cheese on apple pie. In a recent, very unscientific poll I conducted among my own social media followers, 45% of responders said they’ve never had cheddar cheese on their apple pie—and they never will. Meanwhile, 21% said they love it, and 30% said they’ve never had it, but they’re curious.

Well, gouda cheese is a traditional topping for dutch apple pancakes. So I could see how this could actually be delicious.

Cheddar and apple go great together. No divide about it. When it comes to pairing dairy and anything trust the midwest, they know what they’re doing.

The cheese is probably better nutritionally as ice cream usually has a lot of sugar.
But in taste, and pure enjoyment, I can’t believe that cheddar would come anywhere close.

I do like the ched, but when I lived in the UK I loved creme fraiche or a drizzle of double cream. Cuts the “sweet”.

I’ve had cheddar cheese on apple pie. It was good.
Ice cream was good too, but I don’t enjoy biting into cold things anymore.
My favorite topping on any pie is whipped cream.

Celery and cream cheese. Roast beef and cheddar. Ham and swiss. The midwest knows, trust the midwest.
