3. Easy Appetizer Recipes – Apple Bacon Wraps

Bacon just makes everything better, doesn’t it? You’ll need warm bacon for this, ready to wrap without breaking.

Layer a slice of cheddar cheese, an apple slice, and another slice of cheese onto the end of a piece of bacon. Then wrap it tightly in the bacon. Another addition you can make is a dollop of cream cheese in between the cheddar cheese and apple. Again, perfect mix of sweet and salty, along with a bit of smoky savory goodness from the bacon.
