Description
A cracker topped with a medley of tart, juicy apples and creamy cheddar cheese dressed in a tangy vinaigrette.
Ingredients
- 1 whole Crisp Apple, Such As Pink Lady, Jazz, Or Honeycrisp
- 5 ounces, weight Your Favorite Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoons Lemon Juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- ⅛ teaspoons Sea Salt
- ⅛ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- ½ teaspoons Granulated Sugar
- 50 To 60 Crackers
- Dried Thyme To Garnish
Preparation
Chop apple into 16 wedges—the easiest way is to use an apple cutter and then slice each wedge in half, and then chop each wedge into 1/2″ pieces. Chop cheddar into tiny cubes, each one about 1/4″ long. Combine apples and cheddar cubes in a medium bowl.
In a small ball, whisk together red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt, pepper, and sugar. Pour dressing over the apples and cheddar and mix until all pieces are evenly coated. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto each cracker, making sure you have a good balance of apples and cheese on each one. Place them on serving trays as you go. Sprinkle very lightly with dried thyme and serve immediately.
