These apple cheddar palmiers are a delicious and elegant appetizer or snack. They are perfect for entertaining, as they can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving. The combination of sweet apples and sharp cheddar cheese is a classic pairing that is sure to impress your guests. The addition of cinnamon and nutmeg adds a wonderful warmth to the dish, making it perfect for fall and winter gatherings.

This recipe is also incredibly versatile. While we've used sharp cheddar in this version, you could easily substitute your favorite variety of cheese. And if you're not a fan of apples, you could try substituting another type of fruit, such as pears or cranberries. The possibilities are endless!

The puff pastry provides a light and flaky texture that is simply irresistible. Be sure to allow the pastry to chill before slicing and baking, as this will help ensure that the palmiers hold their shape. These apple cheddar palmiers are sure to be a hit at your next gathering, so be sure to give them a try!
