A very quick, simple recipe that's a tasty and healthy snack that can be served for a 4th of July appetizer or for a President's Day gathering.
Ingredients
Block of softened bleu cheese
Three Gala or Fuji red apples. (Red Delicious apples also work well.)
Instructions
Core your apples. Don't peel them as you want a nice, red skin for a sharp contrast to the cheese. Gala and (particularly) Fuji apples work really well for this recipe since they're sweet, yet slightly tangy. If you prefer a sweeter apple, go for a classic Red Delicious.
Slice your apples into decent-sized, 1/4 inch slices.
Grab a knife and spread the apple slice with a thin layer of tasty bleu cheese.
The red-white-and-bleu color combination is patriotic AND delicious! Fan out your apple slices in an arc to give a nice presentation and add a dollop of bleu cheese in the middle in case your guests prefer cheesier apples.
