Ingredients

Apples
2 medium Honeycrisp apples 
A lemon with a slice on the side.
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 
Arugula
2 cups fresh arugula  
Prosciutto
8 thin slices prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise 
black pepper
¼ teaspoon black pepper 
toothpick
16 toothpicks 

Directions

Core apples and cut: Using a sharp knife, core apples and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. You should have approximately 16 slices. Brush apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Carefully roll the prosciutto around the filling: On a clean work surface, lay out one half-slice of prosciutto. Place 2-3 arugula leaves on the prosciutto, followed by one apple slice and one slice of cheddar. Carefully roll the prosciutto around the filling, starting from one end and rolling tightly. Secure with a toothpick.
Arrange on serving platter: Repeat with remaining ingredients to create 16 total. Arrange on serving platter and top with freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • For variation, try using pear slices instead of apple, or substitute baby spinach for arugula if you prefer a milder green.

  • A light drizzle of balsamic glaze adds a sophisticated tangy note that pairs beautifully with the other flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but we recommend assembling just before serving to maintain freshness.

Yes! Gala, Fuji or Granny Smith apples all work well.

Thinly sliced serrano ham or even turkey deli meat can substitute, though prosciutto's delicate texture works best for these wraps.
