Ingredients

- Apple 1 medium
Method
-
Prepare the apple.
Wash the apple thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the apple into thin, even slices. Remove the core and seeds as you slice.
Tip: To prevent the apple slices from browning, you can briefly dip them in a bowl of water with a squeeze of lemon juice. -
Prepare the string cheese.
Take two sticks of low-fat string cheese from their packaging. If desired, you can peel the string cheese into smaller strands for easier eating, or leave them as sticks.
Tip: String cheese can be served cold directly from the fridge for a refreshing snack. -
Plate and serve.
Arrange the apple slices neatly on a plate alongside the string cheese sticks. This presentation makes it easy to enjoy the contrasting textures and flavors together.
Tip: For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on the apple slices if you like.
Pro tips
- Use a sharp knife to make clean, even apple slices to avoid crushing the fruit.
- Keep the string cheese refrigerated until just before serving to maintain its texture.
