Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium apple, cored and sliced
- 2 oz (60 g) sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning)
- 1 Tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
- Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Core the apple and cut into thin wedges. If desired, toss slices with lemon juice to keep them from browning.
- Arrange apple and cheddar slices alternately on a small serving plate or board.
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top, if using.
- Lightly dust with a pinch of cinnamon for added warmth.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Choose a firm, tart apple variety such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best flavor contrast.
- Swap cheddar for Gouda, Manchego, or a mild blue cheese to change the profile.
- For a protein boost, add a handful of toasted nuts alongside.
- Omit honey for a lower-sugar, diabetic-friendly option.
