# Ingredients You’ll Need:

01 - 4 slices whole wheat or white bread

02 - 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese

03 - 1 medium Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apple, thinly sliced

04 - 4 slices cooked turkey bacon

05 - 2 tablespoons butter, softened

01 - Cook turkey bacon according to its label and set aside. Butter one surface of each bread slice.

02 - Build two sandwiches with buttered surfaces outward: cheddar, thin apples, two bacon slices and another cheddar slice.

03 - Cook over medium-low heat, turning carefully, until both sides are golden and cheese melts. Cover briefly if the center needs more warming.

04 - Rest briefly and slice. Keep surplus apple separate rather than making the sandwich too tall to heat evenly.

01 - Melted cheese helps hold the apple and bacon against the bread when the sandwich is turned.

02 - Thin flexible slices warm through more readily than thick wedges.
