What?!!

I know! Why did I never think of this before now?

Recently Musselman’s contacted me to share some awesome summer recipes and a steady supply of their Apple Butter. I don’t know why I had apple butter assigned to fall for food seasons in my head (you have those, right?); maybe it was because of the apples?

Anyway, I couldn’t have been more wrong! I have had a ton of fun making summery things out of this sweet appley spread, starting with this Apple Butter Grilled Cheese.

With summer vacation looming I still have hungry little boys on the brain. Lunch fast becomes our main meal come summertime and they do love grilled cheese.

Spreading some apple butter on the bread before grilling it was like putting frosting on a cake. It is SO GOOD!

  1. Heat a skillet over medium high heat (or use an electric griddle).
  2. Spread one side of each slice of bread with the apple butter.
  3. Butter the hot skillet (I just turn the stick of butter over and rub the skillet with it).
  4. Lay the slices of bread apple butter side up in the buttered skilet.
  5. Place slices of cheese on top of the apple butter on each piece. Let the bread get toasty and the cheese start to melt a little and then make sandwiches by matching the halves up (cheese to cheese).

I like to use apple sauce for an ice cream topping along with walnuts for crunch. The sandwich sounds awesome! Would like the recipe cards. Thank you
