I know a lot of people who love to eat apples and Cheddar in tandem. And I’m no different. One of my favorite 100-calorie afternoon snacks is a light string cheese and a small apple. It’s well balanced and contains protein and calcium and is thus quite filling. So I created these skewers as a more festive version of this classic pairing. I love to serve it along with dessert when hosting a girls’ night for my friends. Be sure to thread the cheese onto the skewers gently to keep the cubes from breaking. I tend to use red-skinned apples because they’re the most colorful, but any variety will be delicious. For even more variety, try the skewers with cut-up lowfat string cheese instead of the Cheddar.
