Spiced Apple Grilled Havarti Sandwiches
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 large Granny Smith apples, cored and thinly sliced
- 4 to 6 tablespoons sugar, to taste
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- 1 tablespoon apple brandy (optional)
- 8 thick slices day-old bread
- 8 thin slices Havarti cheese
- ¼ pound (1 stick) butter, softened
Instructions:
This recipe gives a sweet twist to the classic grilled cheese sandwich.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the apples for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and brandy. Toss to coat the apple slices with the sugar and spices. Remove the pan from the heat. Set aside.
- Lay four slices of the bread on a griddle. Top with one slice of Havarti, one-fourth of the spiced apples, and another slice of Havarti. Place the remaining slices of bread on top of all. Butter the sandwich tops. Turn over. Butter again. Place the griddle over medium heat. Brown the sandwiches on each side for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden and the Havarti is soft. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
