Ingredients
- 1 dark or sourdough baguette loaf, sliced into ½” slices

- 2 crisp apples, like gala or fuji, mandolin sliced to ¼” thick
- 8 slices havarti cheese (or similar, creamy white variety)

- Cook until other side is golden brown and cheese is melted, another 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice in triangles. Enjoy as appetizer or as a main course.
