Apple Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 15 mins
- Yield: 2 sandwiches
- Cuisine: Lunch
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick sandwich bread
- 1 tablespoon butter, for grilling
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 small Granny Smith apple, cored, halved and thinly sliced
Instructions
- Place the sliced bread on a flat surface. Butter one side of each slice, flip over. Place a slice of cheese on each unbuttered side. Layer the apple slices onto 2 slices. Assemble the sandwiches, making sure the buttered sides are facing out.
- Grease a medium non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. One at a time, grill each sandwich for about 2 to 3 minutes until it’s golden and the cheese has begun to melt on that side. Flip sandwich and grill on the other side for an additional minute or 2 until it’s golden, crispy, and cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately, or, to pack in a lunchbox, wait for the sandwich to cool to room temperature before packing inside a lunch container.
