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
Directions
Step 1
Core the Granny Smith apple and slice it thinly into even pieces. Set aside.
Step 2
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
Step 3
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Top the apples with the remaining cheese and place the second slice of bread on each sandwich, buttered side up.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm.
