Switch up your classic grilled cheese and add sweet crunch! I love this easy to make apple stuffed grilled cheese. Creamy gouda and the sweet bite of Granny Smith apples are perfect for this.

This grilled cheese sandwich is not the sandwich of your childhood, but that’s okay. It’s even better. It would even be perfect for dipping into a bowl of hot tomato soup on a cool fall day.

Ingredients you need:

Bread
Butter
Granny Smith apples
Gouda cheese slices

Making your apple grilled cheese:

Heat skillet on medium heat and butter slices of bread on one side.
Slice apples thinly.
Place piece of bread butter side down, layer cheese and apples on top. Add a second slice of bread on top of last cheese layer, butter side up.
Grill on one side, flip the sandwiches, and grill on other side until cheese is melted.
Serve immediately.

Tips for making your cooked sandwich:

Slice your apple slices as thin as you can to avoid huge chunks in your sandwich.
Swap out sharp cheddar cheese or mild cheddar cheese for a new flavor.
Don’t like Granny Smith apples? Try using Red Delicious or Golden Delicious.
