Notes: Happy 300 days!!!! Only 65 to go!!! Not bad at all!!! Everyone always talks about putting a slice of cheddar on apple pie, and I have made things with apple and cheese, and I thought I would try it out! It turned out pretty good. WAY better hot than cold, so if you save them, you must reheat them before serving. Wow, 300 days!! So cool! What I like about this is you can add any filling and its like a pie on the go. I know, I should have made my own crust, but I didn’t have time this day. Try it with my crust from the cherry apricot pie I made if you want a good from scratch one. Yummy!
