Sweet, crunchy apples, savory cheese, buttery crackers, and toasted walnuts combine to create an enhanced, grown-up version of a quintessential snack, which everybody knows and loves: cheese and crackers. This quick and easy recipe is versatile, delicious, and makes a wonderful appetizer as well.

This simple recipe for cheese and crackers is enhanced by the addition of toasted, honeyed nuts.

It’s a simple and fast recipe to prepare, but it’s also extremely versatile too. You can use your favorite cheese, instead of sharp cheddar, or try topping it off with pecans, rather than walnuts; it’s fun to experiment with new ingredient combinations and flavor profiles.

Cheese Crackers with Apples and Honey Walnuts is the perfect snack or appetizer. It’s something everyone is familiar with but has a bit of a twist too.

There is a very limited amount of prep work required; all you need to do is slice up the apples and cheese, heat up the honey and walnuts, and assemble. Try making this quick dish for a midday snack, after-school snack or even as an appetizer for a gathering of friends or family.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Ingredients

Ingredients to make cheese and crackers with apples and honey walnuts on a marble background with text overlay.

  • 15 crackers: club crackers work really well because they are about the same size as a brick of cheese, but any type of cracker that you like can be used.
  • 15 slices of sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces): or any other cheese that you prefer.
  • 1 medium apple: cut into thin slices.
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon honey: or maple syrup

The entire recipe and instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can also print the recipe from the card, if needed.

Prep!

Cut 15 thin slices of cheese and 15 thin apple slices.

Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Create!

Honey walnuts in a small skillet.

Add the walnuts and honey to a small skillet on medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the walnuts are completely coated in the honey, about 1-2 minutes. Turn out onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool.

Serve immediately.

Tips and Techniques

  • You can use any type of crackers or cheese that you prefer. Cheddar pairs really well with apples, but gouda, Monterey jack, or even Swiss cheese would work well with this snack.
  • Maple syrup can be used instead of honey, if preferred.
  • If you are not going to serve these crackers immediately, drizzle a little lemon juice onto the apple slices to prevent browning.
