01 -

Takes fifteen minutes from start to finish and looks like you spent way more effort
The sweet and savory combo keeps guests coming back for just one more
Everything can be prepped ahead so you are not stuck in the kitchen when company arrives

02 -

Room temperature cheese tastes better but is harder to cube cleanly, so slice it cold then let it sit before serving
Apples brown quickly so toss them in lemon water before threading if you want to add them to the mix
These skewers start getting watery after four hours so plan to assemble them the same day you serve

03 -

Buy cheese blocks instead of pre cubed cheese, the texture is better and you can control the size
Chill your serving platter for ten minutes before arranging the kabobs to keep everything fresh longer
