Ingredients
- Apple, medium 1 piece
- Part-skim mozzarella string cheese 1 stick
Method
-
Wash the Apple.
Rinse the apple thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues. Dry it with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Tip: Washing helps remove pesticides and bacteria from the surface. -
Slice the Apple.
Place the apple on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the apple into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. You can slice around the core or cut the apple into quarters and remove the core from each piece.
Tip: Be careful when using the knife. Keep your fingers away from the blade and slice slowly. -
Prepare the String Cheese.
Unwrap the mozzarella string cheese stick. Pull it apart gently into strings or smaller pieces if you prefer bite-sized portions.
Tip: String cheese is designed to peel apart easily, making it fun to eat. -
Serve Together.
Arrange the apple slices on a plate alongside the string cheese. Enjoy the combination of sweet and mild flavors and the contrast of crunchy apple with creamy cheese.
Tip: You can slightly warm the apple slices in the microwave for 10 seconds if you prefer a softer texture.
Pro tips
- To prevent apple slices from browning, you can dip them briefly in a mixture of water and lemon juice.
- Use a sharp knife to make slicing easier and safer.
