Butter outside of sandwiches, and cook in a skillet on medium heat for 4–5 min on each side.
Cut grilled cheese in half and enjoy.
Homemade cinnamon apple butter
In a large saucepan, cook apples with lemon juice on medium-high for about 15 min or until apples are tender.
Using a hand blender, purée apples in the saucepan until smooth. Mix in maple syrup and cinnamon.
Cook on medium heat for 45 more min, stirring occasionally, to concentrate flavours and obtain a buttery texture.
Once cooled, transfer to jars and store in the refrigerator.
