This Cheddar Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese is the perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors. Sweet red delicious apples, paired with smoky bacon and lots of melty cheese….you can’t go wrong with this one! 

There’s nothing more nostalgic than a grilled cheese sandwich. Every time I make one for my kids, it brings me back to my childhood. When I was younger, grilled cheese sandwiches were always a special treat. I couldn’t get enough of that golden buttery bread and that gooey cheese!

Since we love to experiment with different flavors, I decided to jazz up this well-known childhood recipe and whipped up this delicious Cheddar Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese! The apples and bacon added so much flavor to this tasty sandwich, but the real star of the show was definitely Borden® Cheese!

For this dish, I used Borden American Melts. I love using Borden Melts when making my grilled cheese sandwiches because they are made with real cream in every slice for a perfect melt every time. They are also made with real milk with no added hormones and provide an excellent source of calcium. Be sure to head over to Publix and stock up. 

What do You Need to Make a Cheddar Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese 

• Borden American Melts – this cheese provides so much flavor and a beautiful cheese pull
• Red Delicious Apples – these sweet and crispy apples add the perfect amount of sweetness to this sandwich
• Bacon—the bacon provides a delicious savory, smokey flavor
• Butter—the butter helps to give the bread a nice crispy, golden crust
• Brioche sliced bread—I prefer to use a thick bread, such as this one, to help hold in those hearty ingredients 

How to Make Cheddar Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese

Start by placing one slice of Borden Melts on one slice of bread. Top with two slices of bacon and 4 to 5 apple slices. Next, place another slice of Borden Melts on top of those ingredients and top with another piece of bread. Repeat to make three more sandwiches.

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and place one tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Once the butter has melted, cook the sandwiches for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden on both sides and until the cheese is melty. Slice in half and serve immediately.

This Cheddar Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese is super easy to make and filled with so much flavor! You’ll definitely want to add this sandwich to your weekly meal rotation!
