Ingredients for Apple Cheese Wraps

  • 1 granny smith apple

  • 1 slice lemon

  • 2 slices cheddar cheese, cut in half

  • 2 slices deli turkey or ham, cut in half

How to make Apple Cheese Wraps

  1. Slice the apple into 1/2 inch thick slices. Rub the apple with the lemon wedge to prevent from going brown.

  2. Slice the cheddar cheese into 1/2 inch wide slices and the ham in 1/2 or in 1/4 (the ham needs to be large enough to wrap around the apple).

  3. Place an apple slice and a cheese slice on top of the deli meat and fold over deli meat to wrap.
