Hey, yโ€™all! Allyson from Domestic Superhero here again and I am psyched to share this mouthwatering recipe with you. Not only is this one super simple, but itโ€™s soooo delicious! I love making savory food, and this recipe is definitely that.

When fall rolls around, I feel like food is so centered around apples, pumpkin, cinnamon, and sweet potatoesโ€ฆas it should be. I just swoon over all of those things, and fall foods make me super happy. What is your favorite fall food? Is there something you associate with fall?

For this sandwich I used a smoked gouda cheese, and itโ€™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 thatโ€™s really special.

Apple and Gouda Grilled Cheese Recipe

  • Crusty Breadย – Sourdough is my favorite for this recipe.
  • Granny Smith Appleย – The tartness from the granny smith apple is the perfect balance with the creamy cheese.
  • Gouda cheese – The smoked or regular both work well.
  • Butter – I love using salted butter for this recipe.

Essential Items for This Recipe

  • Skillet
  • Sandwich press
  • Spatula

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.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of fresh crusty bread I like sourdough!
  • 1 granny smith apple peeled and sliced thinly
  • 4 slices smoked or regular Gouda cheese
  • butter

Instructions

  • Lay out your slices of bread. Add 1 slice of cheese to 2 slices of bread. Add apple slices on top of each slice of cheese (divide the apple slices in half between 2 sandwiches). Top with another slice of cheese, and then place the remaining bread slices on top. Slather butter on the top piece of bread.
    4 slices of fresh crusty bread, 1 granny smith apple, 4 slices smoked or regular Gouda cheese, butter
  • Heat your skillet over medium heat, and lay the sandwiches with the buttered bread touching the skillet. Butter the top piece of bread now. 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 โ€“ second side usually cooks faster).
  • Slice sandwiches in half and serve immediately!

  20. Wow! This looks so good! I love trying new combinations of toppings for grilled cheese! Can’t wait to try this one!

  21. I headed to Trader Joe’s (who have a wide variety of cheese) the minute I read this recipe as it reminded me of a wonderful sandwich I used to get in Coral Gables, Fla. It turned out wonderfully, but there are a few things I’d do differently next time and there WILL be a second time as it was so good. #1 I’ll remember you said to lay something heavy on it as it’s frying (to help with the melting process) #2 The sourdough at Trader Joe’s was too thick so will buy that elsewhere. #3 I used a cheese slicer but got the cheese too thick. Next time I’ll cut the brick of cheese so I can control the thickness with the slicer. #4 If the cheese doesn’t completely melt I’ll put the grilled sandwich (sans the top slice of bread) under the broiler for a second.

    Thanks for the recipe – suggest all your readers give it a whirl.

    Tavette – S. Fla.
