APPLE-WHITE CHEDDAR GRILLED CHEESE

Apple-White Cheddar Grilled Cheese image

On rainy days when we need comfort food in a hurry, I toast sandwiches of cinnamon-raisin bread with white cheddar, apple and red onion. They also are totally tasty made with vegan cheese and olive oil instead of butter! -Kathy Patalsky, New York, New York
