I was out to dinner with some of my colleagues and we got to talking about interesting flavor combinations after we had placed our order for Buttered Popcorn Ice Cream (which, by the way, was AMAZING!)

One combo that came up was apple pie and cheddar cheese. To be perfectly honest, I have never actually slapped a piece of cheese on my apple pie before, but I can totally see how it would be yummy. I mean, they make snack kits with apples and cheddar in them all the time, so why not do the same but with cinnamon cooked apples rather than raw?
I decided then and there that cheddar and apple would be my next pancake combo.

You know what? It worked! I sauteed some apples, butter and cinnamon for the “apple pie,” filled the pancakes with cheese and chopped apples and voila! Next time, I’ll get a little more daring and add more cheese than I did. But, I’d count this recipe as a success! (I guess I should probably try the “real” combo first though, eh?)
