Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 3 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- ¼ cup caramel sauce
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 6 oz aged cheddar, sliced
- 1 cup mixed nuts, spiced with cinnamon
- 1 box multigrain crackers
- ½ cup apple butter
- Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by washing and drying the apples. Core and slice them into thin wedges, ensuring they are thick enough to hold a bit of caramel.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple slices. Arrange them neatly on one side of a large wooden board.
- Place the goat cheese and aged cheddar slices on the board, giving each cheese its own space to highlight their unique flavors.
- Scatter the cinnamon-spiced nuts around the cheese to add crunch and warmth.
- Arrange the multigrain crackers in several small piles across the board for easy access.
- Spoon the apple butter into a small bowl and place it somewhere accessible on the board.
- Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs to add a pop of color and a hint of herbaceous aroma.
Helpful Tips
- Variation: Swap goat cheese for brie or blue cheese if you prefer stronger flavors.
- Storage: Store leftover apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Substitutions: Use store-bought caramel sauce for convenience, or make your own for a homemade touch.
