Do you ever take the time to make a good sandwich at home? I mean we all love a great deli sandwich, but do you actually make them at home?

If not, my goal today is to convince you it’s 100% worth the effort. This Apple Panini is a sandwich you’d find on the menu of your favorite lunch café, and now you can make it at home. the best Apple Panini recipe with honey mustard

And once you try it, you will need to have it in your life on a regular basis. I can guarantee you that. The flavors here are just that delicious. Apple Panini recipe

The star of the show are the Autumn Glory apples I used. These apples are so darn good! They have natural flavors of cinnamon and caramel and I wanted to make sure those flavors were able to shine in this recipe. They definitely do!Apple Panini with Autumn Glory Apples

For the record, the Autumn Glory apples make awesome snacking apples, too. So when you get some for this recipe, grab some extras for snacking. (Maybe with this Yogurt Peanut Butter Apple Dip or this Vegan Caramel Apple Dip? PERFECT!)

We start Apple Panini with a simple honey mustard spread. Then we add sliced Autumn Glory apples (make SURE you get these apples–they really do make a difference with their unique flavor!) and top with fresh thyme and two different shredded cheeses, sharp cheddar and gruyere. Apple Panini shredded cheddar and gruyere It takes like 2 seconds to shred your own cheese and trust me, just TRUST ME HERE, it’s worth it. SO worth it. It melts better and tastes better without the additives. Sharp cheddar and gruyere balance each other well and are the perfect pairing here.

Butter the outside of your bread, and then you just put the sandwich in your panini press (We have had this panini press since we got married 12 years ago and we use it all the time!) and a few minutes later you have the perfect Apple Panini.

Promise me you’ll try this?!
