ALL AMERICAN APPLE PIE GRILLED CHEESE
In a grilled cheese challenge, my husband and I dared to create "dessert" sandwiches. This particular sandwich is the all-American twist on the apple pie. Instead of bread, we use frozen poundcake (thawed), add homemade apple pie filling, and brie cheese.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A good grilled cheese sandwich starts with the right bread. A thick, sturdy bread like sourdough or country white will hold up well to the heat and cheese. Avoid using a delicate bread like white sandwich bread, as it will easily become soggy.
- Use high-quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in a grilled cheese sandwich, so it's important to use a cheese that you love. A good melting cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère is a classic choice.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: Grilled cheese sandwiches are a great way to experiment with different flavors. Try adding different types of cheese, meats, vegetables, or spreads to your sandwich. You might be surprised at how delicious some unexpected combinations can be.
- Cook your sandwich low and slow: The key to a perfectly cooked grilled cheese sandwich is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the cheese to melt evenly and the bread to become golden brown and crispy.
- Serve your sandwich immediately: A grilled cheese sandwich is best enjoyed immediately after it's cooked. The cheese will be gooey and melted, and the bread will be crispy. If you let the sandwich sit for too long, the cheese will start to harden and the bread will become soggy.
Conclusion:
The grilled cheese sandwich is a classic American comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a grilled cheese sandwich that is perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the grilled cheese sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed.
