One slice of apple or one slice of processed cheese on a burger

I found this really disgusting recipe for a cheeseburger in a foodie magazine published by the grocery store (sort of like what you'd find at the checkout at a supermarket) and I'm trying to figure out why this is a thing and not an issue for anyone. <br><br>The recipe is basically your standard cheeseburger, except one of the cheese slices replaces the apple slices. Specifically, the burger is topped with apple slices, cheese slice, lettuce and tomato. <br><br>I'm trying to understand the thought process. You don't have an apple? Use a cheese slice. You don't have cheese? Use an apple slice. I'm coming across a lot of recipes like this, but mostly with bread slices and crackers. An apple or potato slice is not an equivalent replacement for a slice of cheese, as far as I know. A potato slice is not the same as a corn slice. A chicken slice is not the same as a cheese slice. I'm frustrated that no one is calling this out.
