Ingredients
- Apple, medium 1 piece
- Cheddar cheese 1 oz
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: Use a fruit brush if you have one for better cleaning. -
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 by cutting around the seeds or using an apple corer if available.
Tip: Be careful when slicing, and keep fingers away from the blade. -
Slice the cheddar cheese.
Place the cheddar cheese on the cutting board and cut it into thin slices or small cubes that will easily fit on the apple slices.
Tip: If the cheese is too hard to slice, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. -
Assemble the apple and cheese.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each apple slice. Arrange them nicely on a plate for serving.
Tip: For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon or drizzle honey on top.
Pro tips
- Choose a crisp apple variety like Granny Smith or Fuji for the best texture contrast with the cheese.
- If you want to add more flavor, try pairing with a little honey or a sprinkle of nuts.
