Method

Preparation

Begin by thinly slicing your fresh apples and sharp cheddar cheese while ensuring your dried cranberries are ready to go.
Generously spread unsalted butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Flip the slices of bread over so the unbuttered side is facing up. Layer with cheese, apple slices, and cranberries.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove from skillet, let it rest, and slice diagonally before serving.
