     And if you're talking hot apple pie, there's always the option of topping the thing with a slice of good, sharp cheddar cheese (let the pie melt the cheese and then enjoy).  That seems to be something of an American-ism; I know a Canadian friend of mine who heard about the practice was both shocked and appalled, and couldn't imagine whoever first thought of such a thing . . .
