Ingredients

• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Bacon slices
• 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 medium Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 slices Bread (sourdough or artisan bread preferred)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the red onion and cut it into thin slices.

Step 2

Toss the onion slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Roast the onion in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 4

While the onion is roasting, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels.

Step 5

Wash and core the apple, then slice it into thin rounds or half-moons.

Step 6

Butter one side of each slice of bread. Lay them butter-side down on your work surface.

Step 7

On two slices of bread, layer 1 slice of cheddar cheese, roasted red onion, 2 slices of cooked bacon, apple slices, and another slice of cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.

Step 9

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Step 10

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice in half and serve immediately.
