Ingredients
2 medium Honeycrisp apples

Select a step number to highlight that step.

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.
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.
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

Can I make these in advance?

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

Can I use a different type of apple?

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

What can I substitute for prosciutto?

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

Do You Know?

Organic Valley farms comprise more than 440,000 acres of land in the United States, and this organic acreage is home to more than 1,600 Organic Valley family farms and a whole lot of biodiversity.

We age our Raw Mild Cheddar less than our Raw Sharp, so it’s milder with less tang. It’s vegetarian-friendly, made with pasture-raised cows’ milk, and crafted in small batches by our cheesemakers.

July 13, 1988, was the first day that Organic Valley® cheese was made!
