Chef's Tips

For a crisper sandwich, use a slightly lower heat and cook for a longer time.

Experiment with different types of apples and cheeses to find your favorite combination.

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apples for extra warmth.

Serve with a side of tomato soup or a green salad for a complete meal.
