Tree Nut Free Apple-Cinnamon Cucumber Rounds
Sweet, crisp, and refreshingly light, these apple-cinnamon cucumber rounds are the kind of snack that disappears from the platter before you've even finished arranging them. Thin slices of juicy apple rest on cool cucumber, then get a drizzle of honey, a dusting of warm Ceylon cinnamon, and just a pinch of sea salt to tie everything together. The lemon juice keeps the apple bright and adds a subtle tang that balances the sweetness beautifully. A handful of torn fresh mint takes the whole thing to another level if you have it on hand. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution gymnastics required — just fresh produce and pantry staples. This is an ideal appetizer, after-school snack, or party bite that looks far more impressive than the effort it actually takes to pull off.
