Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 large crisp apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 8 oz Camembert cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6-8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by thoroughly washing the apples. Core and slice them into bite-sized chunks, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick to ensure easy skewering and balanced bites.
- Slice the Cheese: Cut the Camembert into chunks similar in size to the apple pieces, which helps maintain an ideal cheese-to-apple ratio on each skewer.
- Assemble the Skewers: Take a skewer and thread an apple chunk, followed by a piece of Camembert, alternating until the skewer is nearly full. Leave a small gap at the bottom for easy handling.
- Repeat: Continue assembling all skewers until the apple and cheese are completely used, typically making about 6 to 8 skewers depending on ingredient size.
- Add Walnuts: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the assembled skewers, and optionally press the nuts into the cheese for better adhesion.
- Drizzle with Honey: Generously drizzle honey over the skewers to add sweetness and enhance flavor. Adjust the amount based on personal preference.
- Serve: Arrange the finished skewers on a serving platter and serve immediately for the freshest taste. These skewers make a delightful appetizer or snack at any gathering.
Notes
- Use firmer apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain crispness and balance the cheese’s richness.
- Camembert can be substituted with Brie if desired for a similar creamy texture and flavor.
- For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts and consider adding dried cranberries or pecans as an alternative.
- Serve immediately after assembly to prevent apples from browning and cheese from melting.
- These skewers pair well with sparkling wine or light white wines for entertaining.
