Ingredients

You only need 3 simple ingredients:

Apple – I like Pink Lady for that perfect sweet crunch.

Lean deli ham – Look for reduced-sodium ham.

Reduced-fat Swiss cheese – Cut in half to layer neatly. Jarlsberg Lite or Sargento Reduced Fat Swiss are good options.

Substitution Ideas

Try turkey instead of ham

Use a sharp cheddar or pepper jack if you prefer

Swap apple for pear slices for a fun twist

How to Make Apple Ham & Cheese Snack Rounds

Step 1: Gather and prep your ingredients. Core the apple and cut four ¼-inch thick round slices from the center

Step 3: Top two slices with ham and cheese.

Step 4: Cover with the remaining apple slices to make two little apple “sandwiches.” That’s it! Quick, easy, and so satisfying!

Healthy Habits & Weight Loss Tips

One of the things I’ve learned on my WW journey is how important it is to have satisfying, low-point snacks on hand. Planning ahead—even just keeping apples and deli meat in the fridge—makes it so much easier to stay on track without feeling deprived.

This snack is a great example of the kind of simple, wholesome food that helps me feel nourished and satisfied without going overboard. (Slow & Steady Weight Loss Day #9: Pack a Snack to Stay on Track.
