Looking for a snack that's both satisfying and unique? These Savory Apple Cheddar Crisps are surprisingly delicious. The combination of crisp apple and melted cheese creates a perfect light bite, easily portioned for your calorie goals.

Ingredients

1 medium apple (e.g., Honeycrisp or Fuji)
30g sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced or grated
1/4 tsp black pepper
Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then lightly spray with cooking spray.
Thinly slice the apple into 1/8-inch rounds, removing the core from each slice, and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Top each apple slice with a small piece of cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden, and the apple is tender-crisp.

Tips

For extra crispness, bake a few minutes longer until the apple edges brown slightly.
Try different apple varieties like Granny Smith for a tarter flavor contrast.
