Simply so, what kind of pie do you put cheese on?
The cheese-apple pie connection is often traced back to England, which is the birthplace of Cheddar and the apple pie. Back in the 17th and 18th century, English pies were often topped with a dairy-based sauce, such as custard. Somehow along the way, Cheddar stepped in for the sauce and the rest was history.
Subsequently, question is, is Cheddar cheese on apple pie a thing? Yes, cheese most definitely goes with pie. Cheese has been served on the side with pie, but more typically at restaurants a slice of sharp Cheddar comes perched on a warm wedge of tart apple pie. In some places it is melted under a broiler, or cheese is mixed into the pie crust.
