I've always been confused by the apple pie/cheddar cheese combo but I've heard people insist it's fantastic.
I don't think I've ever had it, but I don't think it would be too bad... I used to eat bagles with a slice of apple and a slice of cheese on them when I was a kid. Also, pitas stuffed with cheese and plums.
What about a fried egg on pie? Do people really eat that, or was that just made up in Futurama?
I know a guy who dips chocolate chip cookies into salsa con queso. And sometimes dill and sour cream dip. All the time. Actually, ginger snaps too, come to think of it.

Not to mention fondue restaurants, where one often dips bits of apple into cheese (along with bread, of course). In french restaurants, I have often had cheese plates that include pears and apples (and the menu even recommends trying specific cheeses on specific fruit). I am skeptical about the extent to which cheddar would be the best cheese for a pie though.
I don't know about the fried egg on pie thing, but fried egg on pizza is awesome as long as the toppings are ham or spinach.
I went through a period in my adolescence that I call the Age of Sandwich Deconstruction.
I knew the ingredients of the sandwiches I liked. I knew how to make them, and the order in which one applied said ingredients. But it always seemed like too much work, and it relied on the presence of highly-perishable components (for example, bologna or turkey).
So, I slowly reverse-engineered my sandwiches until I had precisely the ingredients that I enjoyed and nothing else. It's sort of an omnivorous cutting out of the middle meat, like making sandwiches wholesale.
By the end of it, I was eating dill pickle slices and mayo on toasted white bread.
I just mixed bananas and hummus out of some misguided exploratory urge- My pita was gone, and there was still hummus left. Needless to say, I don't recommend it.
