As an option to add little a tangy pizazz to the flavors, spritz just a tiny bit of red wine vinegar over these bites just before serving.
One of my favorite flavor combinations in the kitchen is adding a crisp fresh fruit, like these apples, with a little meat and cheese. I think this mouthwatering set of flavors also makes it appear as if you spent a lot of effort on creating this dish when in reality it’s made with basic ingredients and done so in a fairly quick 25-minute time period.
