Melty gouda, crispy apples, crunchy sourdough bread…. yum! This adult grilled cheese is the absolute perfect fall lunch or dinner as the fresh sliced apples really make this sandwich. However, I can’t overlook the way the smoked gouda blends into the bread and coats the apples in rich warm flavors- so maybe it’s the gouda cheese that really makes this sandwich great. Or even still, the sourdough bread that is slathered in butter and toasted to perfection s why this grilled cheese is amazing. Whatever it may be, you must try this recipe- you will not be disappointed

Ingredients:                                

4 slices of fresh crusty bread (I like sourdough!)

1 granny smith apple, peeled and sliced thinly

4 slices smoked or regular Gouda cheese

butter

Instructions:

Lay out your slices of bread. Add 1 slice of cheese to 2 slices of bread. Add apple slices on top of each slice of cheese (divide the apple slices in half between 2 sandwiches). Top with another slice of cheese, and then place the remaining bread slices on top. Slather butter on the top piece of bread.

Heat your skillet over medium heat, and lay the sandwiches with the buttered bread touching the skillet. Butter the top piece of bread now. Place a sandwich press or heavy bottom skillet on top of the sandwiches to press them down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on first side, or until browned. Flip carefully and cook 2-3 minutes on the other side, allowing to brown (careful – second side usually cooks faster).
