Well, because I posted tomato soup yesterday, I only felt it necessary to post grilled cheese today. OMG, you guys, these bacon and apple grilled cheese sandwiches are amazing. They seriously taste like fall, if you can call a grilled cheese sandwich “fall-like.” It’s the apples guys. The apples! These sandwiches are so savory: with the bacon and sharp white cheddar cheese and those thin slices of crispy, sweet apples add that certain sweetness that you crave with a grilled cheese sandwich!
It’s been all about the easy recipes this week. I’ve been making soup and sandwiches like it’s my job lately.
Wait … it is my job …
But anyway, it’s all about keeping recipes quick and easy as we prepare for Thanksgiving, and you don’t get much easier than soup and sandwiches.
Grilled cheese is one of those recipes that I love to put my mark on. My normal grilled cheese sandwich usually consists of just about anything I have on hand, and that’s exactly what happened with these bacon and apple grilled cheese sandwiches. I have so many leftover apples and in an attempt to use them before they go bad, I’ve been putting apples in just about everything.
The apples send this bacon and apple grilled cheese sandwich over the top. Dunk it in a bowl of creamy tomato soup and you have pure comfort food!
Recipe and beer pairing is below! I hope everyone has a great day! xo

This is one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I have ever seen, love the flavors!!
Thank you so much, Matt! That means so much! I hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
What a beautiful grilled cheese sandwich, Justine! Speaking of hoppy beers, last week I had two different IPAs that were pretty good – Anderson Valley Hop Ottin IPA and Ballast Point IPA (I think the Big Eye IPA but they have two different ones.) Worth the try if you can find them!
Thank you so much, friend!! I’m obsessed with Ballast Point! They have a great IPA(s)! I have not had Anderson Valley’s though! I usually gravitate towards their bourbon barrel aged stuff. ;) I definitely must try their IPA though! Thanks for the recommendations! xoxo
