Note

For best texture, use firm apples like Gala, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith.

This salad is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to maintain crunch.

You can substitute the cheddar with gouda or swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.

Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and healthy fats.
