Very good snack... I always heard that apples and cheese are a good combo but never tried it. I'm a college student, so I had to make do with an apple, two slices of wheat bread, and shredded cheddar from the campus diner. I had my own dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. I also drizzled a little bit of honey on top. A few other students tried it and liked it too.
