Caramel Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Caramel Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a unique twist on the classic grilled cheese that will blow your mind!
I know I’m a little late in the month, but happy national grilled cheese month, everyone! Today I bring you a grilled cheese sandwich filled with delicious caramel apples! Don’t hate on this sandwich until you’ve tried it. It’s SO GOOD! Plain and traditional grilled cheese sandwiches have always been near and dear to my heart but I wanted to give you something a little more exciting to go on than just two slices of bread and cheese in the middle (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Personally, I feel that nothing quite compares to a melty, gooey grilled cheese.
This Caramel Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich gives you a combination of tart and juicy Granny Smith apples with sweet caramel sauce and sharp cheddar cheese. The flavors are really out of this world when placed together inside toasted buttery bread slices.
This Caramel Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich is really easy to make, as most grilled cheese sandwiches are. I think you should give it a try in honor of national grilled cheese month!
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon butter
2 slices of bread
2 slices sharp cheddar (or 1/2 cup shredded)
1/2 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced thin
1 tablespoon caramel sauce
DIRECTIONS:
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Butter the outside side of each slice of bread, place one slice in the pan buttered side down, top with half of the cheese, the apple, caramel sauce, the remaining cheese and finally the other slice of bread.
Grill until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted, about 2-4 minutes per side.
Option: If you prefer the apples to be tender and to stay in the sandwich a little better, saute them in a touch of oil until just tender, about 1-2 minutes per side, before adding them to the sandwich.

Absolutely mouth-watering, flavourful sandwich.
Thanks, Alex!
Love some grilled cheese of any kind!
Same here, Nancy! They are all good!
Oh yum! A little sandwich shop by my house serves something very similar to this, and I love it! Yours looks so good!
I’m glad you love it! I was afraid people would think it was too weird! 🙂
What an awesome grilled cheese! I love apple in my grilled cheese, never tried it with caramel though, fantastic idea 🙂
Happy Blogging!

Thank you! It was actually really good!
I love the cheddar and apple combo. I sometimes get an applepie oatmeal w/ cheddar on the side at my favorite cafe and it reminds me of that.
I love apple and cheese together! I guess not everyone does, though 🙂
Oh, I already know that combination would be heavenly to bite into! What a great spin on the classic grilled cheese. This just says summertime too 🙂
I’m glad you aren’t scared away by the apple and cheese together! 🙂
I am sitting in my car reading this post while waiting for a friend in the grocery store. I drooling! Cannot wait to try this!!!!
Thanks, Cheryl!!
Sorry. I am drooling!
Ooh, how delicious! Sweet and savory.
I’m glad you think so! Some people have been scared away by the apple/cheese combo 🙂
Oh, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! (Yes, typing yum fives times was absolutely necessary.) Must pin, must try. 🙂
hahaha this comment made me laugh out loud! Thanks, Claire!
I’m guessing that caramel and cheddar cheese taste pretty amazing together!
They definitely do! I think everyone should give it a try!
Um this looks amazing! I’ve done cheese and apple before, but never with caramel. Interesting combo! It’s piqued my interest 🙂
Thanks, Heather! It turned out really good….definitely interesting, but good 🙂
Caramel apples are my favorite dessert/snack, so I think this would be my favorite thing ever 🙂
Thanks, Laurie! I’m glad you’re on board with the caramel/apple/cheese combo 🙂
I’ve been craving grilled cheese and didn’t even realize it was its month! No wonder. I’d love to try this version.
Thanks, Lisa! I hope you try it!
LOVE a good grilled cheese sandwich. I’ve heard of apple and cheese being a great combo, but caramel sounds interesting and kind of amazing. Peanutbutter sounds like it’d be crazy tasty too 🙂
Peanut butter?! Brilliant!!
oh em gee! Grilled cheese is my fave..looks great!
Thanks, Kelly! It’s my fave, too 🙂
Nice take on a classic! A lot of people like a slice of cheddar on apple pie – why not combine the two in a grilled cheese sandwich? Makes sense to me! Really good stuff – thanks.
Thanks, John! I was afraid people would think this was weird, but it’s really good!
