My family has always eaten their apple pie with cheddar cheese. I can't imagine it without it. I think the secret is fresh apples. Some of the apples you buy in the store are two years old. The flavor is gone.

I use at least 5 kinds of apples in a pie,granny smith, macs, rome, macoun,cortland. I add 1 cup of sugar(scant) about 1/4 c brown sugar, 1 tsp cinn, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/8tsp allspice. about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of flour. Blend this all together place in a piecrust with 3 tblsp of butter on top, place top crust on bake at 450 for 10 min. lower to 375 until the apples are tender.
