It's been around since the Middle Ages. A Dutch cookbook dated 1514 lists a recipe for Appeltaerten. The English also had their version of apple pie, which dates back to the time of Chaucer. The English version also suggests adding figs, raisins, and pears and the French caramelized their apples, an innovation which added a whole new dynamic to the flavor. Serving apple pie with a slice of sharp cheddar traces back to English traditions of pairing fruit desserts with salty or tangy dairy foods like cheese or custard,..so many Americans eat their apple pie that way...and many others choose the a la mode option.
