Chef tips
If you want a softer texture for younger children, bake the spirals for exactly 18 minutes and cover them with a clean towel for 2 minutes after baking.
Substitutions
You can swap the mozzarella for a mild shredded cheese such as Monterey Jack. The apple can be replaced with grated firm pear. If you do not have cooked turkey, use the same amount of shredded cooked chicken instead.
