Open-faced Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Apple

My kiddos call these sandwiches "Applies" for short. They are much more filling than they first appear, and quite delicious. It's important to cook these on parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent them from sticking to the pan.

Open Faced Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

"Bread"
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
pinch ground cloves
2 eggs
1-2 tablespoons milk, more as needed

Toppings
1 Granny Smith Apple, cored and thinly sliced
4 oz. Cacique Quesadilla cheese, white cheddar cheese, or other cheese of your choice, diced


Preheat oven to 250°, line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Combine all bread ingredients, dough should the consistency of mashed potatoes. Divide into thirds, spread thinly on prepared pan- each circle should be approx. 6 inches in diameter.

Bake for 20 minutes or until bread is firm to the touch and very lightly browned. Remove from oven, set oven to broil.

Spread one third of apples and cheese over each bread circle. Place under broiler just until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 1-2 minutes (watch extra carefully if using parchment paper).

My children especially love this when I serve it with strawberry yogurt for dipping.
