Ingredients

• 1 apple (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji)
• 100 grams cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
• 2 slices whole-grain bread
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for spreading)
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
• 50 grams mixed greens (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the apple. Slice it into thin, even slices, removing the core.

Step 2

Cut the cheddar cheese into thin slices, roughly matching the size of the apple slices.

Step 3

Toast the whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

Step 4

Optional: Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each toasted bread slice for added flavor.

Step 5

Layer the apple slices and cheese slices between the two slices of bread to create a sandwich. Optionally, drizzle a small amount of honey over the apples for a touch of sweetness.

Step 6

If desired, heat the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side to melt the cheese and warm the apples slightly. Press gently with a spatula while cooking for an even texture.

Step 7

Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Pair with a small side of mixed greens for a balanced and refreshing lunch.
