Print Recipe

This hot honey apple cheddar sandwich combines the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and melty flavors with crisp apples, sharp cheddar, and a drizzle of hot honey on sturdy bread. Ideal for a comforting breakfast, lunch, or snack, this easy-to-make sandwich delivers a gourmet twist on a classic grilled cheese that’s flavorful, crispy, and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 2 slices of sturdy bread (such as sourdough or hearty white loaf)

Cheese

  • 4–6 slices sharp or aged cheddar cheese (or shredded, as preferred)

Apples

  • 1 medium crisp apple (Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady), thinly sliced

Hot Honey

  • 2 tablespoons hot honey (store-bought or homemade)

Butter

  • 2 tablespoons softened butter (for spreading on bread)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Slice the apple thinly for easy layering. Slice or shred the cheddar cheese as preferred. Have your bread ready and butter softened for spreading.
  2. Butter the Bread: Evenly spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. This side will be the outside that crisps and browns during cooking.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread butter-side down in a skillet. Layer cheddar cheese first, then evenly arrange the apple slices on top. Drizzle hot honey over the apples to add the sweet and spicy flavor. Add more cheddar cheese over the apples, then top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
  4. Cook Until Golden Brown: Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwich 3 to 5 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted completely.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the sandwich from the pan and let it cool for a minute. Slice and serve immediately to fully enjoy the combination of melty, sweet, and spicy flavors.

Notes

  • Use medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure the cheese melts perfectly.
  • Thin apple slices maintain crisp texture and even heating.
  • Choose a flavorful, sturdy bread to avoid sogginess and enhance taste.
  • Adjust hot honey amount to suit your preferred spice level.
  • Cover the pan with a lid while cooking to speed up cheese melting.
