Vampire Fang Apple and Cheddar Board
Equipment
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Serving platter
Ingredients
- 4 Granny Smith apples
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
- 20 whole almonds
- 1 sleeve round crackers
Instructions
- Wash the Granny Smith apples and pat them dry. Cut each apple into quarters, remove the core, then slice each quarter into thin wedges to create the fang shapes.
- Slice the sharp cheddar cheese into thin rectangles that fit the size of the apple wedges.
- Place an almond at the base of each apple wedge to form the pointed tooth look, then top with a cheddar rectangle to hold it in place.
- Arrange the assembled fangs in a curved row on a serving board to mimic a smile or bite mark.
- Fill the remaining space on the board with round crackers for scooping up any extra cheese pieces.
Notes
Use the coldest apples possible so the slices stay crisp longer on the board. If you need to prep ahead, slice the apples and store them in lemon water for up to two hours, then pat dry before adding the cheese and almonds. Swap the almonds for thin cheese triangles if anyone has nut allergies.
