Notes
Slice apples just before serving to keep them crisp. Use lemon water dip to prevent browning if prepping ahead. Balance tart apples with creamy or sharp cheeses. Avoid overcrowding the board for easy picking. For a warm variation, lightly sauté apple slices with cinnamon and butter before assembling.
