Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Apple (e.g., Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly.
Slice the apples into thin, round slices (about 1/4-inch thick), discarding the seeds and core. You should create small, round 'apple crackers.'
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, honey, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each apple slice.
Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top of the cream cheese layer for added crunch, if desired.
Arrange the prepared apple slices on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, sweet, and tangy flavors.
