Ingredients
- Low-fat string cheese 2 sticks
- Apple 1 medium
Method
-
Wash the apple.
Rinse the apple thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues. Use a clean vegetable brush if you have one to scrub gently.
Tip: Washing the apple well ensures it is clean and safe to eat, especially since you'll be eating the skin. -
Slice the apple.
Place the apple on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the apple into thin slices. First, cut the apple in half from top to bottom, then remove the core from each half by cutting around it. Finally, slice each half into thin, even slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Tip: Be careful when slicing and always cut away from your fingers. Using a sharp knife makes slicing easier and safer. -
Prepare the string cheese.
Unwrap the two sticks of low-fat string cheese. If you like, you can pull the cheese apart into thin strands for a fun texture, or just leave them as sticks.
Tip: String cheese is easy to pull apart, which can make it more fun to eat, especially for kids. -
Serve and enjoy.
Arrange the apple slices on a plate alongside the string cheese sticks or strands. Your healthy, delicious snack is ready to eat!
Tip: If you want to keep the apple slices from browning, you can dip them briefly in lemon water before serving.
Pro tips
- For added flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon on the apple slices.
- To keep apple slices fresh longer, store them in an airtight container with a splash of lemon juice.
