Cinnamon-Apple Grilled Cheese

A grilled cheese sandwich soaked in butter and oozing melted cheese has always been a comfort-food classic. This recipe takes that same sandwich and adds a little sweetness and tang to it with some spiced apples. Perfect for those dreary days stuck studying in your apartment, and when you're trying to get rid of some old bread and/or apples.


Ingredients:
2 medium apples

1 tsp cinammon
1 tsp brown sugar
pinch of salt
1/4 cup water
slice of bread
1 pat of butter
2-3 slices of your favorite grilled cheese sandwich cheese (I personally like gruyere, cheddar, and harvati).


 1. Chop up apples and throw them in a pan with the cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, and water. Mix on medium-low heat for 30 seconds. 
 2. Cover and let the apples cook for about 10 minutes while you go do something else, like surf the internet or watch TV. When they're soft and golden, uncover and let the remaining liquid cook off.
 3. On a separate pan, heat the pan on medium-high heat until hot. Butter the bottom of the pan (the butter should melt upon contact and start to bubble and brown a little).
 4. Fry a slice of bread until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Butter the uncooked side while the bottom is cooking, then flip it over and fry another 30 seconds. While it's frying, do step 5.
 5. Place the cheese slices on your bread. Place some of the apple mixture on half the bread and cut the middle of the bread with a spatula to make a folding point. Turn to low heat.
6. Fold the sandwich over and allow the cheese to melt. Eat it, then make another one because a half sandwich is hardly enough for anyone and because you'll have some apple mixture left.
