A delightful twist on the classic grilled sandwich, combining the sweetness of apple butter with the savory flavors of ham and cheddar.
Slice the apple thinly, keeping the skin on.
Thin slices ensure even cooking and a balanced texture.
Spread the apple butter evenly on one side of two bread slices.
Ensure the apple butter is spread to the edges for consistent flavor.
Layer the ham and cheese on the other two slices of bread.
Arrange the ham and cheese evenly for a uniform bite.
Place the apple slices on top of the cheese.
Overlap the apple slices slightly for better coverage.
Sprinkle thyme and rosemary on the apple slices.
Fresh herbs enhance the aroma and flavor of the sandwich.
Close the sandwiches and grill them in a panini press until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown.
Press gently to ensure even grilling without squishing the sandwich.
Serve the sandwiches warm, optionally with a side of salad or soup.
Cut the sandwiches diagonally for an appealing presentation.
