It's hard to tell if it's good because it tastes good or if its' good because it reminds me of my grandmother

She did like everything on her bagel

One of my favorite pies to make is a cheddar pear pie. Partially because the flavors work so well together, partially to see the weird looks about the name go away the moment they go ahead and try it. You don't even taste the cheese at all but it adds to it in a subtle way.

sour cream

Yeah, that does seem like it would be good. I'll have to give that a shot, thanks :)
