Need more light, cheese-based appetizers? Try my goat cheese & pesto bites here or my feta & chopped tomato spread.
These are kind of like a bread-less sandwich. There are only 3 ingredients but the flavors blend so well together.
For a slightly different flavor use honey or smoked ham, or prosciutto to wrap the apple & cheese bites. In fact, a tray of all three varieties would give guests multiple choices.
Turkey Wrapped Apple & Cheese Appetizer Bites
- Crisp Red apple, cut into small wedges
- Sharp white cheddar, sliced into thin rectangles
- Deli style oven roasted turkey breast, thinly sliced
Layer a strip of cheese on to apple slice and wrap with deli meat.
Secure with a pick and set on a tray to enjoy.
TIP: Spritz or toss apple wedges with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown, OR you can purchase pre-sliced apples from the grocery store, which have already been treated.

I love easy appetizer bites like this! And apples + cheese are always a good combo. Thanks for sharing!
Chris says
I agree, Joelle, This can be the light bite before a meal, or a lighter offering among several heavier appetizers during a party.
