Instructions

  • Lay an apple on its side and slice it in ¼-inch thick slices. Slice the rest of the apples.
  • Place each apple slice on a large plate and spread it with cheese.
  • Sprinkle each slice with celery, chives, walnuts and pomegranate seeds. If preferred, drizzle them with honey and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.

Notes

* Alternatively, you can slice the apples in chunks and serve them on a cheese board.
* I used only three apples, but if you are serving for more people feel free the double or even triple the recipe.
