How to Make Apple Ham Grilled Cheese

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup diced apple, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
  3. Place one slice of cheese (about 1 ounce) on four slices of bread.
  4. Divide the apple mixture evenly among the four slices of bread (about 1/3 cup each).
  5. Top each with 2 slices of ham (about 2 ounces total) and another slice of cheese (about 1 ounce).
  6. Cover with the remaining bread slices to form four grilled cheese sandwiches.
  7. Spread butter evenly on the outsides of each sandwich.
  8. Carefully place sandwiches in the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
