Ingredients

• 4 slices Bread (your choice, e.g., sourdough or whole wheat)
• 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 slices Cooked ham
• 1 small Apple (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Honey mustard (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Core the apple and slice it thinly into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.

Step 2

Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. If using honey mustard, spread 1 teaspoon on one side of two slices of bread.

Step 3

Layer the sandwiches as follows: one slice of cheddar cheese, two slices of ham, a layer of apple slices (overlapping slightly), and another slice of cheddar cheese. Top with the second slice of bread (spread side down if using honey mustard).

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 5

Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the outside of one side of each sandwich (use half a tablespoon for each slice of bread).

Step 6

Place the buttered side of each sandwich face down in the skillet. Butter the remaining sides while the first side cooks.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.

Step 8

Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Remove from the skillet, let cool for 1 minute, then slice in half (optional) and serve warm.
