Sweet and Savory Apple Charcuterie

I can go overboard when it comes to pulling out what’s in the fridge and pantry and our snacking turns into light meals. And what better way to do it than with a family-friendly apple charcuterie board that can be put together in minutes?

While many people choose the cured meat and aged cheese boards, this mama is having a good time turning them into a more kid-approved smorgasbord, with their favorite snack foods and a homemade caramel dip.

Leftovers are also highly welcome because they build epic snack boxes for the classroom or office later in the week. I told you we’re serious about our snacks.

Caramel Dip for an Apple Board

Can we talk about this caramel dip for a second??? A creamy, sweet dip made from vanilla Greek yogurt and caramel topping-  it’s the kind of stuff that goes amazingly well with this apple board, and you could eat it with everything. 

The Greek yogurt provides additional protein, making this apple charcuterie board more nutritious and creating a thick, delicious pairing to the crisp sliced apples. It’s the perfect combination that satisfies everyone’s sweet tooth without the guilt.

    I made this fruit and cheese platter this afternoon for my kids. I used your energy bites recipe and it’s waiting in the fridge for everyone to get home. Such a great idea!

    I found you on pinterest because I wanted to learn how to make a fruit and cheese platter. Your step-by-step pin was very helpful. Came here for the caramel dip recipe! It was a WINNER! This is one sweet and savory snack board I will be making often. I didn’t see these apples at my store but will look!

    I made this fruit and cheese platter for my kids yesterday for an afternoon snack. It was delicious. I haven’t seen Arctic at my local grocery but will keep looking. I sliced my own apples right before serving but I can see that having these non-browning in my fridge would be super practical for school lunches~~
