Prep: 20 min
On the table: 45 min
Ingredients
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices (about 3 cups)
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup golden brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins or cranberries
  • pinchcumin
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 12 slices whole-grain bread
  • 6 (4-inch square) slices old cheddar cheese
    • Directions
  • 1.

    Add first five ingredients and 1 tbsp butter to a small skillet over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove lid and simmer over low heat until liquid is syrupy and mostly evaporated. Let cool.

  • 2.

    Spread each slice of bread with remaining butter. Turn over 6 slices and spread each with 1 tablespoon chutney. Place 1 slice of cheese on top of each chutney slice and top with remaining slices, butter sides up.

  • 3.

    Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook sandwiches, working in batches if necessary until golden on bottom. Turn once and cook other side until golden and cheese has melted, about 6 minutes total. Serve remaining chutney on the side or refrigerate for later use.

  • 4.

    This chutney recipe is easily doubled and is great served with pork or chicken or later spread on leftover sandwiches.

  • 5.

    Chutney can be left off sandwiches and served as a condiment on the side if preferred.
