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.
