Ham and Apple Butter Grilled Cheese

Apple Butter Grilled Cheese hits just the right balance between sweet and savory.

📝 Ingredients

• 8 slices sturdy white bread (sourdough, Italian, or tuscan breads work well)
• 4 Tablespoons butter (melted)
• 4 ounces white cheddar cheese (sliced)
• 8 thin slices deli brown sugar ham
• 1 sweet apple (I used Braeburn, sliced thin)
• 1/2 cup apple butter

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat a grill pan over medium heat.
2. 2Brush one side of each of the bread slices with the melted butter. Flip slices over so the buttered side is facing down. Stack four of the slices with cheese, ham, and sliced apples. Spread the apple butter evenly over the remaining four slices.
3. 3Flip the apple buttered side of the bread on top of each of the four cheese/apple stacks. The buttered side of the bread should be facing out on both sides.
4. 4Slide the sandwiches into the preheated skillet. Grill until the first side is browned and crispy. Carefully flip sandwiches with a spatula then grill until the opposite side is browned and cheese is melty. Serve immediately.
