Delicious: Even more patriotic than apple pie

If it is true that there is nothing more American than apple pie, then I submit that there is nothing even more American than this totally ingenious apple pie with cheddar crumbles baked right on top. Wait for it! It totally makes sense. We are a country of go-getters, ambitious dreamers with ambitious dreams, and really, what's more ambitious than taking an already nearly-perfect dessert food that has long symbolized the beauty of America (i.e., apple pie) and making it twice as beautiful. And not only just twice as beautiful any old way--twice as beautiful with the addition of cheese. America, I salute you. And I salute the two fat Als who were kind enough and patriotic enough to have brought this kind of resourcefulness, creativity, and live wire enthusiasm to the world as a whole.

Sticking to traditional apple pie? Try this delicious (and healthy) recipe from SELF--half the amount of sugar, still satiably sweet.
