4 oz (1/2 cup) softened butter
1/2 c all-purpose flour

This does look really good. I have never had a crisp with cheese, but I remember people eating apple pie with cheddar cheese years ago. Seems like nobody does that anymore.
I like the pecans too! Wish I had a bite right now!
What kinds of apples do you use?

I've never had apple crisp with cheddar either, but sure will try it. Thank you, Jean.

Granny Smith - they hold up under baking and I like that they aren't sweet.

I have never been able to wrap my brain around cheese with apples either.
Re: Apple-Cheddar Crisp - Mare749 - 11-12-2012
We love it side by side as a snack, but I've never had it melted together as in a crisp. I'm going to bake an individual one by itself first to see if my own Mr.Picky likes it that way.
Daphne, are you off from school today?

I'm with Daphne: although cheese on apples doesn't repulse me (in fact, I LIKE cheese with many fresh fruits), the use of it on or in cooked desserts has never particularly impressed me.

Yes! And LOVING IT!

Give it a try, Maryann - it's almost like a mystery ingredient. I can't say how many folks over the weekend after looking at the recipe said - oh, that's what that flavor was. It is very subtle and using white cheddar it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb.

I will try it this week. Just have to get some ingredients, but I'll repost when I do.
