1. Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin wedges.

2. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

3. Add the apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the skillet.

5. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

6. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.

7. If desired, spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on the unbuttered side of 4 of the slices of bread for extra creaminess.

8. Spoon a generous amount of the cooked apple mixture onto the cream cheese or plain side of the bread slices. Top each with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

9. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.

10. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly.

11. Cut each sandwich in half and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
