# What You’ll Need to Cook:
→ Bread
01 -
4 slices whole wheat sourdough bread
→ Spreads and Flavorings
02 -
60 ml apple butter
03 -
0.5 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
04 -
1 tablespoon light butter spread, plus extra for grilling

# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat or preheat a panini press to medium-high.
02 -
Spread 1 tablespoon apple butter evenly over each slice of bread. For each sandwich, layer half the sage, half the cheddar cheese, a layer of apple slices, and half the turkey onto two slices of bread. Top with the remaining bread slices, placing them apple butter side down.
03 -
Lightly butter the outsides of each assembled sandwich to ensure an evenly golden crust.
04 -
When the skillet or panini press is hot, grill each sandwich for 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until bread is toasted and cheese is melted. Use additional butter or nonstick spray if needed to prevent sticking.
05 -
Remove from heat, slice in half, and enjoy immediately while hot.
