Ingredients
  

8 slices of deli turkey breast

1 large apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)

4 ounces of cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon of honey (optional, for sweetness)

1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard (optional, for tang)

1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (optional, for warmth)

Fresh greens for garnish (e.g., spinach or arugula)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apple: Start by coring the apple and slicing it into thin rounds or wedges, approximately 1/8 inch thick. For added texture and nutrients, feel free to leave the skin on during slicing.

    Make the Cheese Spread: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with honey, Dijon mustard, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well blended, creating a flavorful spread.

      Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay one slice of turkey breast flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Using a spatula or knife, spread a thin but even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the turkey.

        Add Apple Slices: Place a few apple slices atop the cream cheese spread. Then, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the apple slices.

          Roll it Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the turkey slice tightly around the apple and cheese fillings. If necessary, secure the roll-up with a toothpick to hold everything in place.

            Repeat the Process: Continue assembling the roll-ups with the remaining turkey slices and fillings until all ingredients are utilized.

              Serve: Arrange the completed roll-ups on a decorative platter. Garnish with fresh greens such as spinach or arugula, and drizzle with a little extra honey for added sweetness, if desired. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.

                Enjoy: These delicious turkey apple cheese roll-ups can be served right away. Alternatively, refrigerate them for up to an hour to chill before serving. They make an excellent appetizer or an enjoyable snack for any occasion!
