Whether you're craving a cozy solo meal or an impressive yet simple dish to serve, this recipe delivers on all fronts.
Start by preparing the apple: Wash, core, and thinly slice it into even slices about 1/8 inch thick.
Spread a thin layer of honey mustard evenly on one side of all 4 slices of bread.
Layer the ingredients for each sandwich: Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese on the mustard side of one slice of bread, followed by 2 slices of ham, a few slices of apple (enough to evenly cover the ham), and another slice of cheddar cheese. Top with another slice of bread, mustard side facing in.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Butter the outside of the bread slices (the top and bottom of each sandwich) evenly with about 1/2 tablespoon of butter per side.
Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, gently pressing down with a spatula to ensure even browning and melting.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for about 1 minute before slicing in half for serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Apple Ham Grill!
