Expanding Pie Horizons: Apple Pie con Queso

So, I noticed that some people swear by eating their apple pie with cheddar cheese melted on top (preferably Tillamook Cheddar Cheese).

So, as I continue to try and expand my “pie horizons”, I gave it a shot with a leftover slice of my Mom’s apple pie.

I don’t know what to say. I didn’t really feel much of anything. The overwhelming feeling I had was that I missed the vanilla ice cream.

It wasn’t BAD, but it didn’t add much to the picture. If anything, I felt like it took away from the taste of the pie and it took away from the taste of the delicious cheese. I LOVE the both of them individually, but together, they weren’t working for me.

I was a little surprised I felt this way, because I am a fan of sliced apple pieces with cheddar cheese.

It could be that the cheddar cheese is better on an apple pie that has less cinnamon and crispier apples, and maybe that was the problem.
