GRILLED MOZZARELLA & APPLE SANDWICH (with caramelized onions!)

I’ll post a more interesting recipe about what I did with the majority of the apples now in my possession from yesterday’s trip upstate, but I STILL have a ton of apples left and I’m trying to figure out how to use them here and there.

Today I put them in a grilled cheese sandwich!  Some notes if you plan to make this:

• I used mozzarella because it was what I had, but normally I’d go for some sharp cheddar.
• Recently I learned that you should caramelize onions in butter, NOT oil.  This is because the proteins in butter assist the process and interact better with the onion’s carbohydrates. [Thanks, Saveur Mag!]

Crunchy, buttery, and savory.  I loved eating the extra apple slices on the side!
