Cheese and apples are a perfect pair. There’s something about the sweet and tartness of an apple that makes me want a slice or two of cheese at the same time. I can remember back to my elementary school days, our babysitter would serve us an after school snack. The snacks varied from day to day. Puffed wheat cake, graham crackers with peanut butter or apples with cheese; I loved them all. I still consider cheese and crackers an acceptable snack (sometimes a whole meal), but from time to time, I like to jazz things up a bit.
This weekend was one of those times. I wanted something that was impressive and easy, and that serves as an ode to one of my favourite childhood snacks – but with an adult twist. I topped naan with a generous slathering of grainy dijon, followed by a sprinkle of grated Dofino Havarti cheese and topped it with thinly sliced apples, pecans, and a drizzle of honey. I highly recommend the smoked Havarti; the combo of smoked cheese and honey is an all-time favourite of mine.
