Description
A delicious twist on a classic grilled cheese combining sharp cheddar, tart Granny Smith apple, and dried cranberries for a warm, comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread (thick)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Thinly slice the apple and prepare all ingredients.
- Butter one side of each slice of sourdough.
- On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer half the cheddar cheese, followed by apple slices, dried cranberries, and then the remaining cheddar.
- Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for 3–5 minutes until golden brown.
- Carefully flip and grill the other side for an additional 3–4 minutes until crispy and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then slice diagonally and serve.
Notes
For a crispy crust, preheat a skillet over medium-low to reheat leftovers. Adding brie can elevate the richness.
