Ingredients
Ham, Cheese, and Apple Sandwich Ingredients
- 1 kilo apple peeled and chopped
- 1/2 Cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 Cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Calamansi Juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 slices bread
- 3 tablespoons Butter melted
- 1 Cup cheddar cheese coarsely grated
- 3 slices Forest Ham
- 9 slices Fuji apple thinly-sliced
- 3 tablespoons apple butter
Instructions
- Make the apple butter: Combine apples, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and salt in a heavy- bottomed pot; bring to a simmer. Cover pot partially and cook until apples are soft, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in calamansi juice and cinnamon. Purée mixture in batches in a blender until smooth.
- Return mixture to pot and simmer over low heat, uncovered, stirring every few minutes until thickened and dark, about 1 hour. Let cool completely then transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Heat a frying pan or grill pan over low heat. Brush one side of each bread slice with melted butter.
- Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over the unbuttered sides of 3 bread slices, spreading cheese to the edges. Top with ham and apple slices.
- Spread 1 tablespoon apple butter on each of the unbuttered sides of the remaining bread slices. Cover sandwiches, apple-butter side down.
- Place sandwich on the heated pan. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the sandwich and press down on it using a heavy pan. Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip sandwich and press down on it again with the heavy pan. Cook until golden brown.
- Let sandwich cool slightly before packing in a lunch container.
