Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 120 grams Cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, shredded or sliced)
- 1 medium Apple (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or preferred variety)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for dipping)
Directions
Step 1
Core and slice the apple into thin, even pieces. Set aside.
Step 2
Lay the bread slices flat on a cutting board. Evenly distribute the cheddar cheese on two of the slices. Arrange a layer of apple slices on top of the cheese, then cover with the remaining bread slices to create sandwiches.
Step 3
Cut each sandwich into 3 strips so they resemble ‘dippers’.
Step 4
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, swirling to coat the surface.
Step 5
Place the sandwich strips in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the second batch of strips, adding more butter as needed.
Step 6
Remove from heat and let the dippers cool slightly before serving.
Step 7
Serve warm, optionally pairing with honey for dipping to add a touch of sweetness.
