Apple Cheddar Twists | Food Wishes

These apple Cheddar twists come just in time for peak apple season, and the beginning of the holiday party season, and of course, it’s always cheese season. The filling tastes like apple pie, which pairs perfectly with the sharp cheddar. With all that goodness being delivered in a crispy, buttery pastry, this is a must-make snack. Enjoy!

My German Grandmother used to say, " apple pie without cheese, is like a kiss without a squeeze."

My German Grandmother used to say, “Swallowing is better than spitting”

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Having a Soggy Bottom would be a source of constant sorrow.

[@KeePenne]

Oh, brother....where art thou? 😂🎉

[@bandiceet]

Particularly if you're in the jailhouse, now.

[@keithsogge]

Always been my problem.

[@DerSteppenwolfe]

These. Look. AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESOME!!!!!!!! Going to make these with my 9 month old pastry this weekend.

[@RyllenKriel]

As a representative of Townsends, I humbly suggest some freshly grated nutmeg on these apple cheddar twists before baking. Looks like a great recipe Chef John!

[@tammi67able]

Can’t wait to make this! Thank you Chef ❤

[@Kevinrothwell1959]

I love that you went the extra mile to show us the results of both methods.😊

[@frankiebluej6902]

Perfect. The food and your 'after all you are...' part. 😂❤

[@louisaleroux5610]

Oh, they look delish!!! I love apples, cheddar and puff pastry so why not bake them together in a twist? Yum!!!

[@pcolageorge]

Saturday is game night. I always bake something. Looks like this will work! Tarts already going, so it will be a double whammy......

[@rutheglin-pugh2320]

Apple pie with cheese..an old Yorkshire combination. Also rich fruit cake( no icing nonsense) , mince pies with it too. Preferrably Wensleydale cheese( old recipe, not modern attempts) or a white stilton.

[@lindainparis7349]

Memories memories. And cheese and apple sandwiches…

[@billmelaterplease]

Totally. Making. This. SOOOOOON!!!❤❤❤

[@lauriegelinas257]

What a fantastic fall app before a football game or any get-together. They look beautiful!

[@-szega]

Well this is a happy coincidence because I didn't know what to make with the last two apples from my backyard tree. Made this a couple hours ago and it's really nice. Don't skimp on the puff pastry though. The cheap stuff is just no good. Added some cinnamon, freshly ground black pepper and a touch of nutmeg to the grated apples.

[@h0ckeyd]

Thanks very much Chef John! I made a batch of these this morning and they taste awesome (I did wonder about the cheese and apple but remembered a plowman's lunch here containes those two ingredients too) just some leftovers stuff and some chillies laying about so I might make a chilli and cheese twist version next!

[@alexisl4158]

These look wonderful and are a perfect intro to Autumn ❤

[@Oanjoexterminador]

I love how chef John pronounces fantastic: van-tastic.

[@lindainparis7349]

How about shaking cayenne and cinnamon over apple mixture before cooking ?

[@Kevinrothwell1959]

A little nutmeg sprinkled on top would be a nice touch as well.😊

[@СпасЯнков-э2ч]

I like the idea cinnamon and cayenne sugar with nutmeg

[@rainnmoon114]

These look absolutely tasty! I have never had cheddar cheese with apple pie ❤

[@melissaharris3389]

Honey Crisp's are also my preferred baking/cooking apple.

[@СпасЯнков-э2ч]

Try something with cheddar bacon and apple maybe a pie chef John?

[@rutheglin-pugh2320]

Plus..good pastry of any kind..cold hands, cold everything.

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Let's twist again, like we did last summer....😉 As for the celulose dust on cheese: I remember the ads, back in the 1970s, for "Grape Nuts" cereal, that featured Yule Gibbons, asking, "Did you ever eat a pine tree?" How oddly prophetic...

[@arya_roychowdhury]

Delicious

[@anidnmeno]

grab a stick and twist it!

[@СпасЯнков-э2ч]

Chef John try German Apfelkuchen

[@yirmiyahu1397]

I have a feeling this would be awesome with bacon bits Incorporated in them..

[@GlaDiary36]

New recipe for me

[@ChandraMalone-cy1tg]

Awesome 😂

[@jomercer21113]

Any more, the only time I use a silpat is if I don't want browning on the bottom. Otherwise I use parchment paper.

[@delarboles197]

From a bay area native...I just posted a video documenting the ceremony of the Kalachakra puja fire today (sept 14 2024) at the Namgyal Monastery if anyone would like to experience this art of peace ✌️ please share the love 🙏🏼💚

[@jalontf2]

Opportunity missed for a Chubby Checker reference upon twisting, and then missed a second time when you twisted them again! I will need to try this with some bacon bits mixed into the apple mixture...

[@cleightcleight3623]

@Chef John It's a good thing I recently heard that story of Oliver Twist otherwise I would not have gotten the point of you saying 'just say 'yes'' if your guests ask for more. :) Do you come up with that stuff on your own or do you get help with those lines?? Perhaps from your wife you mentioned in this video??

[@jasonhunter2819]

Oh no not cellulose! I'll avoid celery too I suppose

[@EmmaRLR]

❤

[@yashoza9792]

I didn't know why I couldn't like the video. Some kind of youtube glitch or something. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@JohnPhilpott-q5k]

The only thing missing is the caramel

[@rutheglin-pugh2320]

Question..when did Cheddar cheese become what it is now..nothing to do with the cheese made in Cheddar, Simerset ..what is it actually , now? Grate it manually ..but still , is it anything in particular anymore? These things are important!!!

[@orion7741]

I think you need to break out your dictionary and find the definition of the word "center". LOL, that rack was most definitely not in the center of your oven!

[@douganderson7251]

It never is.

[@ccculture9681]

Never heard of cheese with apple pie. Yuck!

[@user-qd2oj1zb4i]

Never heard of it, never had it, but you're saying yuck???

[@eck413]

Gross

[@chichibangbang3667]

Afterall, you can't get any better than Chef John's Apples and Cheddar 😉

[@elizabethscott354]

What a man, he cooks and does math! Michelle, you're a lucky, lucky woman! ❤❤❤

[@Zilero]

Loved the side by side comparison, Chef John

[@hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm2369]

This is so Wisconsin-coded.

[@GregCurtin45]

I never make a traditional apple pie without grating 5 y/o white cheddar cheese into it. Thank you Chef for the recipe. Perfect for a warm summer's day with a glass of white wine.

[@tallesttreeintheforest]

apple ice cream, why isnt that a thing in the supermarket?

[@СпасЯнков-э2ч]

Granny smith flavour maybe chef John would try with caramelised pecans?

[@The_Blessed_Cowboy]

Apple pie ice cream and I'll sacrifice my stomach.

[@karentarin3235]

Honeycrisp apples are my favorite they're so delicious

[@gohawks3571]

Yes!😋🍎

[@zburgy]

i'm thinking some carmalized onion would be good in with the appes

[@gigy9330]

As always on the quest to make America grate again...

[@Bergantin23]

OMG, you never cease to astound me. THANKS. Cheers from Barcelona.

[@driesvonweidtz9815]

Thinking you should have added srispy bacon bits

[@margieburgesser5048]

Ooh, you could even add crumbles of a nice hickory smoked bacon and skip the sea salt.

[@13thMaiden]

I'd advise next time throw in 1/2 to 1 tsp of black pepper in with the mix. I know, sounds weird but for some reason it makes the apple taste even better along with the cheese and salt.

[@patriciamorgan6545]

Not weird at all. Have you tried plain yogurt (or Greek yogurt) with peaches in season, sprinkled with cinnamon and black pepper, drizzled with honey and topped with candied pecans? The black pepper gives it a nice zing that balances the sweetness.

[@bryanr.4947]

The best Apple/ Cheese combination I know of is the Gala apple with Kerrygold Dubliner cheddar cheese. They're made for each other.

[@KeePenne]

Fall food. Yum! Love apple season....😊

[@rachelkopas5450]

Love all your recipes!❤

[@matthewwhittington-jk9ep]

A perfect snack for the football weekend

[@MelissaArmstrong-Hansche]

[@MelissaArmstrong-Hansche]

🎉😊

[@MelissaArmstrong-Hansche]

I woylf love rhe recipe so i can keep it in the family and i will liik brilliant

[@bobbyeggplant]

After all, you are the Chubby Checker of your Cheddar Apple Twist…

[@Hank-ip8rl]

You are after all the Amos Tupper of your dessert for supper.

[@BManningtree]

100% better warm, than letting them cool. Aside from that a really good recipe. I used a mix of Cheddar, Provolone with a small amount of cinnamon and nutmeg and some Parmesan for the top.

[@karleedu]

OH! My mouth is watering so much!

[@raleedy]

No cayenne?

[@valerieschoen7494]

I was certain that’s what he was going for, but it turned out to be salt. 😮

[@glennzanotti3346]

Honeycrisp apples are very good for cooking. I use them in a sweet/hot sauce I make for pork chops.

[@treemanog112]

Posted 14 hours ago meanwhile i was given a bag of free apples and have puff pastry in the fridge. Seems like I need to make this now

[@baabyherman3716]

Never had cheese on my apple pie. Does not sound good.

[@YamIa3gypsy]

Just bought 5 pounds of honeycrisp apples. I will be making these with my grandson. Thanks, Chef John!

[@unimaginaryemily]

Wonderful idea! If you're ever in Nova Scotia, I highly recommend you guys check out That Dutchman's Cheese Farm

[@macsarcule]

These look great, but I’ll never understand apple pie & cheddar cheese. Courses for horses. Great video! 😃✨

[@philipcarpenter1347]

I'm thinking Gruyere with a dusting of a really good Parm on top...

[@chipdenman863]

lol, just made this with dafurs (sp?) pastry. The twists untwisted while baking and the sharp cheddar (Whole Foods brand) melted all over in an oily goo. I did line my baking sheet with parchment paper. Tastes great, but does not look anything like Chef John’s.

[@jreese8284]

Sorry, Philistine here. I kept thinking, "All that work!" Just slice up the apple and eat it with sliced cheese, and call it good.

[@cwatson3495]

More? You want more!!!! You know what comes next……Boy for Sale. Yes if they ask for more just give it to them Oliver.

[@cravensean]

I like raw apple and sliced blue cheese of some sort -- Stilton or Gorgonzola are swell -- as sandwich toppings.

[@adbt20]

I had never heard of apple and cheese together like this... but looks great !

[@anaximander66]

Why does the puff pastry have to stay frozen? Seems like twisting them would be a problem.

[@leighDrusllalyle2304]

Hi Chef John! You say grate your own cheese as pre grated cheese is covered with cellulose. What about frozen grated cheese like “cracker Jack “ (we don’t get that here in the 🇬🇧, I don’t know if Cracker Jack refers to the cheese or the brand that sells the cheese) anyhows, can we use frozen grated cheese? And blue cheese, would that work?

[@matthewanipen2418]

both look tasty. the first looks way better though and probably is superior. I think if you want something more like iron kids bread with wet apple the 2nd is better?

[@BrendaGarcia-r4x]

You should show you’re delacota scwash recipe from 6 treats ago in a Fall foods marathon

[@kaisersozay8978]

Dust with powdered sugar on top. Add cinnamon. And brush with butter

[@tetsuo3673]

Can always tell Chef John made the baked fruit recipe when the fruit's cooked a little first. Extra step that adds a lot.

[@tenzhitihsien888]

I'd like these with cinnamon and no cheese. Never have liked the whole cheese-on-apple-pie thing.

[@СпасЯнков-э2ч]

Chef John try cayenne on apples with cheese with nutmeg and cinnamon i think you would like the taste

[@AzraelThanatos]

There used to be a place near me that made something similar, swap the cheese for slightly more apple and adding nutmeg to it. Then dusting the entire thing in cinnamon sugar before putting it in the oven.

[@KainoaBlackeagle]

I love when Chef John does an extra batch for comparison. It's like we get two videos in one. Kudos chef John!

[@saintskittles]

I wonder if a spoon of apple butter on the base would make that apple pop

[@kobayashimaru65]

Getting apple seeds in the pastry would not be grate.

[@1stAmbientGrl]

Orange and cheddar is also a good combo. 🙂

[@СпасЯнков-э2ч]

On a salad

[@diane8885]

I am thinking some maple sugar for the top

[@edwardlong189]

Brings back memories from my German grandmother

[@junglechick13]

Does it have to be sea salt? I have only mountain salt.

[@mrpankau]

The Oliver Twist reference!

[@Josh-im9go]

These look insanely delicious!

[@thomasphillips7215]

Maybe use apple butter spread as a short cut?

[@xavier1278]

Going to try this with some prosciutto

[@hyacinththompson6089]

😋😋😋😋😋❤️

[@colleenschaefer5333]

Genius.

[@FlavorMK]

🎉🎉

[@carolowen9595]

Yum!

[@chrisyouell9180]

No cayenne?
