Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Butter Grilled Cheese

Prepare two slices of whole-grain bread and spread softened unsalted butter on one side of each slice.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of apple butter on the unbuttered side.
Layer sharp cheddar cheese over the apple butter. Optionally, add thinly sliced apples and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up, and press lightly.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
Flip the sandwich gently with a spatula and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove from skillet, let it rest for a minute, then cut in half and serve warm.
