Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Granny Smith apple
- 4 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Bread (sourdough or rustic white)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Core the Granny Smith apple and slice it thinly into even pieces. Set aside.
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean work surface. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of maple syrup over the unbuttered side of each slice.
Layer half of the grated cheddar cheese onto each slice of bread. Arrange the apple slices on top of the cheese, ensuring even coverage. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon and salt over the apples.
Top the apples with the remaining cheese and place the second slice of bread on each sandwich, buttered side up.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm.
