Ingredients

Method
-
Wash the apple.
Rinse the apple under cold running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat it dry with a clean towel.
Tip: Use a fruit brush if available to clean the skin thoroughly. -
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. Remove the core and seeds carefully.
Tip: Cut slices evenly for a better presentation and easy eating. -
Prepare the cheddar cheese.
Take 1 oz (28.4 grams) of cheddar cheese and slice it into thin pieces or small cubes, depending on your preference.
Tip: Use a sharp knife or a cheese slicer for clean slices. -
Arrange and serve.
Place the apple slices on a plate in a single layer. Arrange the cheddar cheese slices or cubes alongside or on top of the apple slices. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon on the apple slices if desired.
Pro tips
- Choose a crisp apple variety like Granny Smith or Fuji for the best texture contrast with the cheese.
- To prevent apple slices from browning, you can lightly brush them with lemon juice before serving.
