Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Melty cheddar, sweet apple butter, granny smith apples, and healthy turkey. DELICIOUS fall flavor. Perfect for quick dinners!
Prep: 7 minutes
Cook: 8 minutes
Total: 15 minutes
Servings: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole wheat bread I used a bakery whole wheat sourdough
- ¼ cup apple butter
- ½ tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 scant teaspoon dry rubbed sage
- 2 ounces freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese I love using white cheddar
- 1 firm tart or semi-tart apple thinly sliced, such as Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp
- 6 ounces good-quality deli turkey meat
- 1 tablespoon light butter spread plus additional for grilling sandwich
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium low or preheat your panini press to medium high.
- Spread all four slices of bread with 1 tablespoon apple butter each. For each sandwich, layer one of the slices with half of the sage, half of the cheese, a layer of apple slices, and the turkey. Place the remaining bread slices on top, apple-butter-side down.
- Butter the outsides of the sandwich, then once the skillet is warm or the panini press is preheated, grill on the stovetop (cooking each side for 2 to 4 minutes until the bread is toasty and golden—low and slow will guarantee the most melty, perfectly cooked grilled cheese) or place in the panini press, using additional butter or nonstick spray as needed to prevent sticking. Slice and enjoy hot.
Notes
- TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE: Use gluten-free bread.
