Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Butter Grilled Cheese

Spread softened unsalted butter on one side of each slice of whole-grain bread; lay aside buttered side down.
On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread a layer of apple butter, then place sharp cheddar cheese on top.
If using, arrange sliced apples atop the cheddar cheese.
Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired, and place the second slice of bread on top with the buttered side facing up.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Flip the sandwich and grill for another 3-4 minutes, until both sides are crispy and the cheese has melted.
Let the grilled sandwich rest for a minute before slicing in half, then serve warm.
