Using reduced-fat Cheddar cheese helps us keep the calories down, without compromising on melty, cheesy goodness. We’ve found that the tart crispiness of Granny Smith apples is a match made in heaven with Cheddar’s mild tanginess, but there’s nothing to stop you using a different apple variety if you’d prefer.
If you’re on the lookout for even more toastie inspiration, we’d recommend trying our Cheesy Chilli Toastie or our viral Viking Toast. They’re too good to miss, and totally slimming friendly!
