Cheesy Cinnamon Apple Slices

Low in kilojoules and high in dietary fibre, apples make a filling afternoon snack. Researchers found that when eaten regularly, flavonoid-rich foods such as apples decreased the risk of both cardiovascular and coronary heart disease in postmenopausal women.

Make it:

1 medium-sized apple
1/2 tsp (2 ml) cinnamon
8 small slices
low-salt cheddar cheese

Wash, core and cut apple into 8 slices. Sprinkle slices with cinnamon and top each with slice of cheese.

Serves 2.
