2 granny smith apples, cored and thinly sliced
1 Tbsp sugar, to taste

Steps:

1. Melt 3 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

3. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring frequently until most of the apple juices are reduced and the apple is coated with a syrup.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
5. Place four slices of bread on a griddle and top each with one slice of Havarti cheese, 1/4 of the spiced apples and another sice of cheese and top with remaining slices of bread. (If you don't have a griddle you can use a large non-stick fry pan) and grill one sandwich at a time.
6. Butter sandwich tops. Turn over and butter again.
7. Heat griddle or pan on medium heat and brown each side for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and Havarti cheese begins to melt.
