Dutch Apple Pie

Submitted by noway

"I grew up in a very Dutch community in Iowa. This is from one of my hometown's community cookbooks. This one is a little bit different from the Dutch apple pies already posted because it has cheddar cheese melted on the top and uses cream instead of butter. Posted for ZWT6."
