Description
Give your childhood snack a gourmet upgrade with this fast and flavor-packed recipe. By combining the chewy sweetness of Fig Newtons with tart apples and melted smoked Gouda, you create a warm, savory-sweet treat in just minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 Fig Newtons (100% whole grain)
- 1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
- Smoked Gouda cheese, sliced into small pieces
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each of the four Fig Newtons horizontally in half to create a top and bottom piece.
- Place a thin slice of Granny Smith apple and a small slice of smoked Gouda cheese on the bottom half of each cookie.
- Gently place the top half of the cookie back on to create a mini sandwich.
- Arrange the cookies on a microwave-safe plate and heat on high for 20 seconds until the cheese is melted and the cookies are warm.
Notes
To prevent the cookies from crumbling, use a gentle sawing motion with a serrated or very sharp paring knife when splitting them. If you prefer a milder flavor, try substituting the smoked Gouda with a slice of creamy Havarti or mild white cheddar.
