How to Make Apple Chedder Panini

  1. Core and thinly slice 2 medium Fuji or Gala apples.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the apple slices to the skillet and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  4. Cook and stir the apples for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
  5. Remove the apples from the skillet and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
  6. Spread 2 teaspoons of apple jelly on each of 4 slices of your favorite bread.
  7. Top each jelly-spread slice with 1 slice of cheddar cheese (approximately 1 ounce per slice).
  8. Divide the cooked apple slices evenly among the 4 cheese-topped bread slices.
  9. Top with the remaining 4 bread slices to create 4 panini.
  10. Heat the same skillet over medium heat until hot.
  11. Add the sandwiches to the skillet and press down gently with a spatula or a small plate.
  12. Cook the paninis for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
  13. Remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy!
