Steps:
- Bacon: In a large non-stick pan over medium heat add 8 slices of bacon. Fry both sides until golden/crispy with the fat fully rendered down. Remove from pan, leave fat behind.
- Apples: Melt 1 tbsp butter into the pan then add the apple slices. Stir to coat and fry for around 5mins until they JUST begin to brown and soften slightly. Pour in 2 tbsp maple syrup along with your fresh thyme (optional). Lower the heat very slightly and stir to coat the apple. Gently fry until the apple is soft (but not breaking apart) and caramelized/sticky. Remove and wipe out the pan.
- Grilled Cheese: Butter one side of each of the slices of bread then flip half of them over. Top with grated cheddar, followed by 2 slices bacon, topped with caramelized apples and finish with gorgonzola (or more cheddar). Top with a second slice of bread butter-side-up.
- Fry: Add to a non-stick pan over medium heat and fry both sides until golden with the cheese just starting to leak out. You may need to do this in two batches. Serve up and enjoy!

GRILLED APPLE AND SWISS CHEESE SANDWICH
My mother taught me this recipe, and it has become one of my favorite quick meals. I find that Granny Smith apples work best, as well as a crunchy seed bread.

Steps:
- Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet to medium-low. Spread 2 teaspoons of the butter on one side of a bread slice. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread. Place one of the slices butter-side down and shingle the cheese on top, covering the entire surface. Top with the other slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Place the sandwich on the griddle and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. If the bread is browning too quickly, shift the griddle off the heat. Flip the sandwich, then cover with a small metal bowl and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Once golden brown on both sides, toast the edges of the sandwich, if desired. Transfer to a cutting board, cut in half on the bias and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread. A sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings and the heat of the grill is best. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or a hearty whole-wheat bread.
- Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of sharp cheddar, Gruyère, and cream cheese makes for a delicious and flavorful grilled cheese sandwich. You can also experiment with other types of cheeses, such as goat cheese, mozzarella, or pepper Jack.
- Don't be afraid to add other ingredients. Sliced apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar are classic additions to an apple cinnamon grilled cheese sandwich. You can also add other ingredients, such as bacon, ham, or turkey. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Grill the sandwich slowly and evenly. This will help to ensure that the cheese is melted all the way through and the bread is golden brown and crispy. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a sandwich that's undercooked or burnt.
Conclusion:
The apple cinnamon grilled cheese sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its combination of sweet and savory flavors, this sandwich is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give the apple cinnamon grilled cheese sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed.
