Notes
To achieve the perfect balance of sweet and savory, be mindful of the amount of Granny Smith apple you use. Start with one apple and adjust the quantity based on your personal taste preferences.
For the creamiest, most melty texture, be sure to use freshly grated white cheddar cheese.
If you prefer a thicker chili consistency, try mashing some of the white beans during the simmering process.
