We like pie. It's the perfect dessert. BUT I’m diabetic and can’t eat much of it during a sitting. So making a whole pie doesn't make any sense. However we’ve discovered a quick
and easy way to get a small dose of that sweetness. One of our hometown fast
food places sells homemade pie by the slice. At least 12 different kinds. So we opt for a small slice from there to satisfy our cravings. In February
they feature CHERRY pie. A president inspired thing. And in March they highlight their chocolate flavors. I
like the VERY BERRY
pie that they specialize in baking. It’s my favorite. My husband usually gets the STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB.
But he also has a fondness for the APPLE BROWN BETTY. Yet.. he does something I
never heard of with the apple pie. When we get home... before he eats it… he melts
a piece of cheddar cheese on top. He says the cheese offsets the sweetness and
gives the dessert a savory flavor. I have to admit it is pretty good... IF you can get past a strong desire for a scoop of vanilla ice cream, instead. Do any of
you do this? Melt cheese on your apple pie. I've been told in some circles it’s a time honored tradition.
