National Apple Pie Day…
Happy Friday and Happy National Apple Pie Day!
I was kind of surprised that National Apple Pie Day is celebrated in May. With Apple harvests occurring in the fall, I would have assumed Apple Pie Day would have been in the fall as well. I am not complaining. I love Apple Pie, so really any day works with me to celebrate.
Your traditional Apple Pie comes in a round pan with a flaky crust. This classic and delicious dessert will never go out of style. You can eat Apple pie any time of the day and in a variety of ways.
I love putting cheddar cheese on mine! It might sound strange, but a nice sharp piece of cheddar cheese with a warm slice of Apple Pie is a winning combination. While the traditional apple pie is always a winner, I decided to search the web for some food bloggers who have put a nice twist on this classic All American Dessert. Here are a few of my favorites…

Tiny Urban Kitchen Inside Out Apple Pies
Willow Bird Baking Mini Apple Pies with Cheddar Crusts
Cake Duchess Salted Caramel Apple Pie
Our Best Bites Pie in a Jar
Dan’s Good Side Hot Honey Apple Tarts

Whether it is in the traditional for or one of these adaptations, I hope you have a piece of pie and celebrate National Apple Pie Day!

Cathy - An apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze. When I lived in New England, this was the the choice of the natives and I had never heard of it made like this before, your pie looks so good I am off to buy one and have some Ben and Jerry’s on the side!
Lisa - My grandma always says, “Like my dad always said, apple pie without cheese is like a hug without a squeeze!” (Similar to Cathy’s comment above)
