5.Top each with a spoonful of the Mediterranean tuna mixture, spreading it evenly.

6.Place one or two thin apple slices on top of the tuna mixture to add a crisp, fresh contrast.

7.Garnish each bite with a small fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and aromatic freshness.

8.Arrange the bites on a serving platter and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
