CHEDDAR CHEESE APPLE SQUARES

Category: Fruit Desserts

12 oz (1 box) vanilla wafers (or 3 1/3 cups vanilla wafer crumbs)
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
2 (21-ozcans) apple pie filling
Cinnamon ice cream or warmed honey, to serve

Preheat the oven to 375.

Make the vanilla wafer crumbs in a food processor or with a rolling pin and combine with the coconut, cinnamon, cheese, and butter to form a crumbly mixture. Press half of this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 13 x 9-inch inch baking pan.
Spread the apple pie filling on top of the bottom crust. Top with the remaining crumb mixture; do not press down.

Bake for about 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Place the rack in the refrigerator to cool completely.

To serve, cut into 2-inch squares. Serve with the ice cream or warmed honey.
