Ingredients
- low-fat string cheese 1 stick
- apple 1 medium
Method
-
Wash the apple.
Rinse the medium apple thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues. Use your hands to gently rub the surface while rinsing.
Tip: Use a fruit brush if available for better cleaning. -
Dry the apple.
Pat the apple dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to avoid slipping when cutting.
Tip: Drying helps prevent accidental cuts. -
Core and slice the apple.
Place the apple on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the apple into slices or wedges, removing the core and seeds. Aim for about 6-8 slices for easy eating.
Tip: Cut slices evenly for consistent bite size. -
Prepare the string cheese.
Unwrap the low-fat string cheese stick from its packaging. If desired, gently pull apart the cheese into strings or leave it whole for easier handling.
Tip: Pulling the cheese into strings can be fun and adds texture. -
Serve and enjoy.
Arrange the apple slices on a plate alongside the string cheese. Enjoy this balanced snack immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tip: Pair with a glass of water or your favorite beverage.
Pro tips
- Choose a crisp apple variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best texture contrast with the cheese.
- Keep the apple slices in a small container with a little lemon juice if you want to prepare ahead and avoid browning.
