On the 40th anniversary of the Pink Lady™ Apple variety, I was commissioned to develop some recipes that celebrate this world-favourite apple. It’s sweet, crunchy tart taste matches deliciously with ingredients that are creamy, rich and salty; queue a slice of brie, thin slices of Pink Lady™ Apple, a thin wrapping of savoury and salty Jamon, all bedded down on a crunchy witlof leaf garnished with a scattering of thyme leaves. It’s a perfectly balanced snack that is quick and easy to put together for all ages.
