🧀Ingredients (Makes 2 Sandwiches)
4 slices sturdy bread (sourdough or brioche)

1 crisp apple (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)

1 tsp honey (optional drizzle)
Pinch of black pepper or thyme
🔥Step-by-Step: Grill to Golden
Shred & Layer
Grate cheddar with Geedel Rotary Grater (coarse blade for fluffy piles).
Thin-slice apple by hand (⅛-inch for crisp bite).
Spread butter on outer bread slices.
Build the Stack
Bottom bread → half cheese → apple slices → honey drizzle → remaining cheese → top bread (butter side out).
Crisp the Magic
Heat skillet medium-low. Grill sandwich 2–3 minutes per side—press gently for max melt.
Golden crust + lava cheese = done. Slice diagonally.

Spicy Kick – Add hand-sliced jalapeño.
Herb Boost – Sprinkle thyme inside.
Kid-Friendly – Skip honey, double cheese.
Make-Ahead – Shred cheese with Geedel up to 1 day ahead.
Pair It – Tomato soup for dunking.
