Ham and cheese apple wraps are a satisfying combination of savory and sweet you can pack in the lunchbox or serve for a high-protein snack! As you can see from the video, making this delicious snack box or school lunch is easy!
Ham & Cheese Wraps with Apples
These ham, cheese, and apple wraps are the perfect lunchbox builder. They are gluten-free, grain-free and full of protein.
To make this lunch more substantial, add a boiled egg for additional protein, whole-grain crackers, additional veggies and dip… and you are set!
I tried this same cheese and apple combo in an apple grilled cheese sandwich and it came out AMAZING. But, these wraps also satisfy that crunchy, tangy-sweet craving.
Packing These Ham Wraps for Lunch
I like to make these wraps and pack them crackers, additional fruit, and veggies for a bento-style lunch. Not only is it a balanced meal, but the ingredients are readily available and the entire lunch can be prepped the night before.
I know you are going to love the tart and juicy sweetness of the apples with the savory cheese and ham combination.

These are great! I gave these to my daughter yesterday and she thought they were the best surprise ever. Because they were so easy and fun, I added them to a list of awesome no sandwich lunches! Thanks for sharing, and I can’t wait to try more recipes!

These would work for those days when it’s all “I’m hungry, but I don’t feel like eating” . Not to mention getting your 5+ a day.

These little ham wrapped apple/cheese slices are just what I was looking for…we provide snacks after church and have gluten-free families that will love these. I was running out of ideas for low cost, easy fixing finger foods. Thanks. Love your ideas!

What a GREAT idea!! Thank you for saving me this morning, lol! I just could not put together a lunch this morning, so I came to your site, knowing you’d give me inspiration and VOILA! There it was! I used goat cheese because I have a son with a dairy allergy and a daughter with a wheat intolerance, so lunches sometimes confound me! Anyways, thanks for helping me out this morning!!
