Apple cheese bagel snacks - The Jewish Standard

The fall is here to stay… the leaves are beginning to turn and everyone seems to be wearing a light jacket. Hoping everyone has wonderful memories of the summer, followed by lots of great times during the chaggim that just passed.

It is a busy time for all, regrouping, and having everyone return to their regular schedules.

I came across this recipe in one of the magazines and thought it sounded like a great, quick snack for all.

Apple cheese bagel snacks

2 bagels cut in half (you can get 100 calorie ones). Try cinnamon raisin
2 tablespoons low fat margarine
8 teaspoons cinnamon/sugar mixture (1 tablespoon cinnamon-1/4 cup sugar)
4 thin slices of apples (I like Fuji, Gala, and Granny Smith)
4 nice slices of hard cheese (cheddar works well)

Preheat the broiler (can use a toaster oven). Spread the margarine on the bagel halves and sprinkle with the cinnamon/sugar mixture.

Cook the apples in a skillet with a tablespoon of margarine and cinnamon/sugar until coated.

On top of the bagel half, slice a thin piece of cheese and then a piece of apple.

Broil for about 2 minutes until the cheese melts.

Take the bagels outside on the deck – watch the leaves fall – and sip a delicious cup of tea.
