Steps

  • Lightly spray with a skillet with non-stick spray.

  • Add sliced onion to skillet over medium heat.

  • Cook onions until soft, light brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally – about 5 minutes. Set aside.

  • Toast bread lightly in the toaster so it is more crisp (optional).

  • Lightly spread butter on one side of each slice.

  • With the skillet over medium, add two slices of bread buttered side down and top each with one slice of cheese. Then top with a healthy portion of caramelized onion and sliced apple and top with the other slice of bread – buttered side up.

  • Cook on each side until golden brown and crisp – 2-3 minutes – being careful not to burn.
