Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 apple (e.g., Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Wash the apple and slice it into thin, even rounds or wedges. Remove the core and seeds.
In a small bowl, mix the honey and ground cinnamon until combined. Set aside.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each bread slice.
Place two bread slices, buttered-side down, on a clean plate or surface.
Top each bread slice with a layer of cheese, followed by a few apple slices.
Drizzle a small amount of the honey-cinnamon mixture over the apples.
Add another slice of cheese on top, then place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered-side up, to form sandwiches.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to help the bread crisp up and the cheese start melting.
Flip the sandwiches and cook an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy!
