Not your ordinary cheese and apple combo! Kick it up a notch with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper!

Prep time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 large apples (the rounder the better!)
• Sharp white cheddar
• Honey
• Freshly ground pepper      

Instructions

1. Slice ¼ “ round off the sides of each apple (if done ahead, brush lightly with lemon juice to keep from browning).
2. Cut cheese into ¼” thick squares (can be done the day before).
3. Arrange the apple rounds on a platter and place one cheese slice on top of each.
4. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with black pepper over all.

Hint: If you enjoy a glass of red wine, Cabernet pairs well with this snack!
