Apples and cheese are a snack-time classic, so it’s only natural to throw them between two slices of bread and grill the whole thing up. Here, Vermont aged cheddar combines with the timeless complement of green apples for a tart and satisfying snack.

What to buy: Look for an aged, extra-sharp cheddar cheese such as Cabot from Vermont.

  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, spread butter on 1 side of each slice of bread.
  • Once the pan is warm, add 1 slice of bread buttered side down, then top with 1/2 of the cheese, all of the apple slices, and finally the remaining cheese. Close sandwich with second slice of bread, buttered side up.
  • Cook until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.

    • Beverage pairing: Joseph Drouhin Chablis, France. This wine, a minerally and unoaked Chardonnay from Northern Burgundy, has apple and pear flavors, as well as a brisk, citric bite. It’s the perfect bridge between the sharp cheese and crisp apples.
