MMM!
This is one of my very favorite snacks.
I remember the first time I had this. It was way to many moons to count ago, that one of my gradeschool friend's mother made these for us one Saturday afternoon. I don't remember what she called them, but I know they had a name.
Any way , I have never forgotten how to make them, and they have been a long time favorite of both my family and friends.
The following directions are based on plain cheddar cheese and a green granny smith apple
( the way I had it the first time) , BUT, as my adventurous side has taught me, Pears and provolone or apples or pears and mozzarella with a bit of Italian seasoning on top , or.. well lets just say the combination possibilities are endless. I hope you enjoy this unexpected taste pleasure as much as my family and friends do .
1/2 of a medium sized green apple ( tart and juicy is best) sliced thin
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese ( sharpness is your choice)
Olive Oil Pan Spray
A good non stick skillet
Spray your skillet with the Olive oil pan spray and heat to not quite smoking .
Lay the apple slices out on to the hot pan and let them sizzle about 10 seconds then flip them.
Cover with the cheese in a circular fashion and let fry till is slides easily around the pan then flip ad fry the other side.
Remove to sturdy paper plate when edges are crisp and slice into wedges and enjoy.
