Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp Dijon mustard and 1 tbsp maple syrup until combined to create the maple mustard spread.
Step 2: Spread 4 tbsp softened butter evenly on one side of each of 8 slices of sourdough bread.
Step 3: On the unbuttered side of 4 bread slices, spread the maple mustard mixture evenly. Layer 2 oz sliced sharp Wisconsin cheddar cheese and half of the thinly sliced Granny Smith apple evenly on top.
Step 4: Top with the remaining 4 bread slices, buttered side facing out.
Step 5: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, pressing gently with a spatula.
Step 6: Remove sandwiches from the skillet, let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
