2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
-
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
-
On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread Dijon mustard evenly.
-
Layer the sharp cheddar cheese and apple slices on top of the mustard.
-
Place the remaining slices of bread on top of the sandwich, ensuring the buttered sides are facing out.
-
Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Remove from heat, cut in half, and serve immediately with a side of pickles or chips.
Notes
For a sweeter touch, add a drizzle of honey over the apple slices before grilling.
If you prefer a bit of heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes on the apple slices or use spicy mustard.
