Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich
"This is another one of my creations. I love grilled cheese sandwichs and Im always trying to make new versions! I reallllllly liked this one! Please only use a tart apple like a granny smith; sweet apples may produce an undesireable result. I really loved this sandwich!!!"

This was great for a change to the regular grilled cheese sandwich. I however do not like American cheese at all so I took that out and put in provolone. It was great the granny smith apples really added to it. -
This was really good! I didn't have granny smith, but even with a sweeter apple it turned out okay. I will definitely use a granny smith next time though.

Yum! This is a great idea, and it's delicious. I didn't have the Italian bread, shallot or cheddar cheese. I used american and provolone cheese. They were good, but I know cheddar will be perfect. Since I had a hard time finding a shallot, I'll probably just stick to garlic only - maybe increasing it next time. Whole grain bread was still wonderful, but I'm sure the Italian bread would really make it. -
WoW WEEE!!! Im a sandwitch person myself and with cheese? Well that is just the combo for me. I had steaks for supper yerterday for the family but just ran ou to buy the ingredientes before hand. Well l did make the steaks for the family and a friend of my sons but, also made these sandwitches. At first my hub says what for "l want a steak" Didnt listem as usual to him and made this recipe anyway...well well , everyone had steaks but also had an HUDGE sandwitch. Everyone just loved this. Ps: l added some extra garlic powder. I bet that grilled chicken would fit in there just right. Love this!! -
This is a lovely sandwich! I used raclette cheese, but otherwise I stuck to the ingredients. Thanks!

A+! This was awesome. I did make a couple alterations- I used swiss instead of American, 1 granny smith apple for 2 sandwiches (it seems like a whole apple would be too much for just one, our sandwiches were packed with 1/2 an apple each), and some yellow onion instead of the shallot. I used 3-Seed (poppy, sunflower, sesame) sourdough. Mmmm! I made this in my cast-iron so the onion, apple and garlic caramelized wonderfully... what a flavor!
