Apple Butter Grilled Cheese
Thick slices of oatmeal bread are spread with apple butter, sprinkled with sharp cheddar, buttered, and then grilled to warm toasty perfection. Apple Butter Grilled Cheese is sweet and savory -- perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
What?!!
I know! Why did I never think of this before now?
Recently Musselman's contacted me to share some awesome summer recipes and a steady supply of their Apple Butter. I don't know why I had apple butter assigned to fall for food seasons in my head (you have those, right?); maybe it was because of the apples?
Anyway, I couldn't have been more wrong! I have had a ton of fun making summery things out of this sweet appley spread, starting with this Apple Butter Grilled Cheese.
With summer vacation looming I still have hungry little boys on the brain. Lunch fast becomes our main meal come summertime and they do love grilled cheese.
Spreading some apple butter on the bread before grilling it was like putting frosting on a cake. It is SO GOOD!
Thick slices of buttery bread, melty sharp white cheddar cheese, and sweet apple butter. Simple. Perfect.
I also might have eaten these for breakfast. And they kind of might even taste appropriate for dessert. Apple Butter Love.

Cheese and apples love each other! A sweet and savory apple cheese tart: press pie shell into bottom of tart pan; prick with fork all over and par-bake at 375 for 4 mins. Spread soft cream cheese and a layer of apple butter in bottom of tart shell; layer with a "fan" of apple slices; top with shredded havarti; bake until bubbly and lightly brown, about 15-20 mins; cool; eat. Ta da!
I liked the Musslemans Apple Butter Facebook page. They had some good ideas I will use.
Apple butter and butter mixed together on your plate and eaten with hot biscuits!

wow, the number of types in the prior comment make me seem like a total idiot.
That is a good idea, don't know I never thought of it either! I have a ton of apple butter leftover from canning this past fall and was wondering what to do with it. Sometimes, I use it place of the oils in a cake mixes. I makes an awesome spice cake this way.
love it best just on toast
I do not have a favorite way to use the butter because I have never had it before. The BBQ sauce sounds delicious. I would love to see more recipes because I would love to try this product---Rachel
What a great combination! Although I can't eat cheese there are some good vegan ones out there and I really think that apple sauce looks amazing.
That sandwich looks so delightful. I've never had apple butter but I think it'd be great on toast for breakfast. Yum!
