Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Quote While many folks enjoy their apple pie à la mode with whipped cream or ice cream, in Vermont, the law requires a good faith effort to serve the state pie with a glass of milk, a scoop of ice cream, or a slice of cheddar weighing at least 1/2 oz.
Gungadin Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Yea Canada has rules on what you can call maple syrup and France requires a certain amount of the wine to be French, some percentage is allowed to be foreign (read Spain Rioja Valley). Seems like it should be a violation of the 'Interstate Commerce Clause' which is way misused.

Pat Riot Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 I love apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I have never considered having cheddar or any other cheese with my apple pie. That just sounds weird.

I like extra sharp white cheddar, sliced very thin or shredded. I also like fresh shredded Romano! I also like a great big scoop, or two, of good vanilla ice cream or frozen custard!!
Phantom Falcon, SASS # 46139 Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 I have never understood why folks put cheese on apple pie. I like cheese, except cheddar, and I like apple pie, but definitely not at the same time. What other folks like is none of my business. PF
John Kloehr Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Had apple pie once with a slice of american (nasty process) cheese melted on top. Waste of good apple pie. The wedge of cheddar thing? Not sure, but maybe if it is a good cheese. Good vanilla ice cream is a solid yes.
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Cheddar on apple pie ain't my thing, but it's always been a widespread combination, so there must be something to it for a lot of folks.

Oak Ridge Regulator Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Speaking as a person from VT who grew up in a family where my grandmother baked apple pies for the grange bake bean suppers her entire life. Hard sharp cheese was always served in a slice beside the pie. The reason for serving a good sharp cheese was to cleanse the pallet between bites of pie so you got the real taste of the apple ( same reason they often serve cheese with wine ) many people put waayyyy to much sugar and spices in apple pies and you never really get to taste the apple. I certainly miss those apple pies, they were made with lard pie crust, fresh picked apples, and maple sugar instead of brown sugar. I also miss the suet pudding on brown raisin cake cooked in a coffee can. Now I’m hungry !

I don't order it in restaurants anymore because they want too much money for a small slice of mediocre sort of cheddar cheese or they melt it on top. One of the few things I have found fault with since moving to Arizona.
