It’s the first day of autumn and that means it’s apple season!  Not many fruits can beat apples in their versatility and convenience.  An apple makes the perfect on the go snack but also can be used in countless sweet and savory recipes.  Last weekend we went apple picking and got a variety of delicious local Michigan apples.   I believe the picture below is of the Golden Supreme variety but I can’t be sure (the trees weren’t labeled).

Today I’m sharing two ways to use up just one apple.  It’s a two for one bargain and I love bargains!

First up: Apple Grilled Cheese

Thinly sliced cheese and apple slices on whole grain bread takes a regular grilled cheese up a notch.

 

Tip: Cover the pan with a lid to speed up cheese melting!

 

There is something about the apple and cheese combo that I love.  I used cheddar cheese but any type would work.

Next Up: Apple Nachos

This a great ‘healthy’ dessert.  Melt a little peanut butter and chocolate together in the microwave. ( I usually stop about every 20 seconds to stop and the stir the mixture.)  Top sliced apple with melted chocolate and chopped pecans.  Oh my, I devoured this plate in about two minutes!  It was so good and a little too easy!

Happy Fall!  Have a great day!
