S'OK, I'm as American as... as... as... PBJs, and I never could figure the 
deal with ice cream on apple or any other pie- the ice cream melts into soup, 
and you wind up with soggy pie to boot. I'll take mine in a seperate dish, 
thanks. And, I never discovered the cheddar cheese thing until I was an adult 
and moved to the Midwest. While I like cheddar cheese with my pie, I like to 
do a bite of cheese, and a bite of pie, seperately. The two flavors are 
complementary, as are the flavors and temperatures in pie with ice cream, but 
mixed, you have a soggy mess, particularly, if like me, you prefer your fruit 
pies heated.
