Author Notes
Many people lament the end of summer, but I have always looked forward to my favorite season, fall. Growing up in Ohio, my mom, sister and I would go apple picking every year in the crisp weather, and one of our favorite ways to enjoy our haul was simply slicing up the apples and enjoying with chunks of cheddar cheese on the porch (with some fresh pressed apple cider!) This is a perfect side dish for early fall when it still feels a bit like picnic weather, and ideal for my favorite fall pastime - football tailgaiting. Go Buckeyes! —Emily | Cinnamon&Citrus

Ingredients
-
1/2 cup
sour cream
-
1/2 cup
mayonnaise
-
zest of one whole lemon + juice of half the lemon
-
1 1/2 tablespoons
apple cider vinegar
-
1 teaspoon
sugar
-
1 teaspoon
whole grain mustard
-
1/4 cup
fresh dill, chopped
-
1/2 cup
extra sharp cheddar, grated (I love NY state cheddar, yellow or white, the sharper the better)
-
2
sweet tart apples (I like Golden Delicious best - use any apple you love to snack on)
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
-
1/2 teaspoon
white pepper (black is OK too, I just love keeping the color clean)
-
1/2
green cabbage (yield about 3.5-4 cups shredded)
Directions
-
Combine the sour cream through the sharp cheddar in a large bowl, stirring well with a spatula to get a homogeneous mixture. Add salt and white pepper.
-
Quarter, core, and slice your apples and add immediately to the bowl of dressing, folding to coat the slices (the lemon juice and vinegar will keep the sliced apple from oxidizing).
-
Quarter, core and thinly slice cabbage and add to the dressing and apples, tossing to coat (with the thickness of the dressing, I find a clean pair of hands is often the best tool here).
-
Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for 2-4 hours for the flavors to combine (bringing to room temperature before serving), and enjoy!
