A slice of cheddar cheese was served after eating pie to remove the sugar from your teeth. Brushing was not as common back then apparently!

I have *heard* of the apple pie and cheese combination and perhaps erroneously thought it was a US midwestern thing. But maybe it is English?https://www.southernliving.com/food/desserts/pies/apple-pie-with-cheese<br /><br />I like apples and I like cheese but think your crust would be more appealing than a slice of cheese on top of the pie. We have our own apple pie recipe which has sour cream and streusel. It's excellent so we should make it more frequently than for Thanksgiving.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.com
