    Now that fall is here, I have been whipping up lots of delicious ‘fall’ recipes. I was really excited to make this Apple Grilled Cheese with delicious smokey gouda cheese because not only is it reminiscent of fall, but because it is super simple and delicious.

    Serve this with Air Fryer Butternut Squash or Instant Pot Roasted Red Pepper Soup and you have a delicious balanced meal!

    I love making savory food, and this Apple Grilled Cheese is definitely that. When fall rolls around, I feel like food is so centered around apples, pumpkin, cinnamon, and sweet potatoes…as it should be. I just swoon over all of those things, and fall foods make me super happy. 

    Making this Apple Grilled Cheese couldn't be easier! Here's how:

    How to make Apple Grilled Cheese:

    **Scroll all the way down for full printable ingredients and directions**

    • Heat up a heavy bottom skillet over medium heat. 
    • Make the sandwiches: One slice of bread, then top with 1.5 slices of cheese, apple slices, more cheese, and then the top slice of bread. Butter the top slice of bread. 
    • Lay the sandwiches with the buttered bread touching the skillet. Butter the top piece of bread. Place a sandwich press or heavy bottom skillet on top of the sandwiches to press them down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on first side, or until browned. Flip carefully and cook 2-3 minutes on the other side, allowing to brown (careful – second side usually cooks faster).
    • Serve immediately!

    Tips for making the BEST Apple Grilled Cheese:

    • For this Apple Grilled Cheese sandwich I used a smoked gouda cheese, and it’s up to you if you use smoked or regular. I think it would be great with both, but the smoked gives it this bacon-y punch that’s really special.
    • Pairing the cheese and apples is a no brainer (think cheese plate), but now you are sandwiching it between two crusty pieces of bread. Then grilling it up, you melt the cheese and it becomes perfection.
    • Cook over a constant medium heat. This will allow the cheese to melt without burning the bread. 

    Fall recipes are the BEST! Here are some other delicious fall inspired recipes to try:

    • Instant Pot Applesauce 
    • Crock Pot Caramel Apple Cider
    • Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles
    • Apple Raisin Cinnamon Rolls
    • One Pot Cheesy Pumpkin Pasta
    • Caramel Apple Poke Cake (easy cake mix recipe)

      How would this pair using cinnamon ciabatta? (No raisins in the bread.) I can’t decide if it would be an amazing flavor collusion or a nice idea gone bad.

        I think it would be delicious but with ciabatta it might be harder to get the cheese to melt since its thicker. I think it would be good with raisin bread though.
