Apple, Ham, and Cheddar Melt Sandwiches aren’t your average ham & cheddar melts! Brie cheese, apples, and apple butter make these a mouthwatering sandwich!
Apple, Ham, and Cheddar Melts are my favorite lunch in the fall. In the town where we grew up in, there was a little restaurant that served ham, cheddar, and apple butter sandwiches. Sadly, this little restaurant was only in business for less than a year.
In the short time it was open, Emily and I ate there several times and ordered these sandwiches. We loved them! I tried a new sandwich recipe yesterday and they tasted JUST like the ones in that restaurant. They were delicious! I added apples and Brie to the sandwich and in my opinion it made them even better. The crispness and sweetness of the apple slices greatly complements the melted cheese and warm ham. The person that came up with adding apple to a grilled cheese is a genius!
If you are looking for a simple lunch recipe to share with guests or lunchtime visitors this is a good one! This sandwich recipe tastes oh so delicious and is pretty simple to put together. These aren’t your average ham & cheddar melts! Enjoy!

Seriously, what’s NOT to love here?

Apple, Ham, and Cheddar Melt Sandwiches
Apple, Ham, and Cheddar Melt Sandwiches aren't your average ham & cheddar melts! Brie cheese, apples, and apple butter make these a mouthwatering sandwich!
- 2 slices artisan bread
- Brie cheese to taste
- 1/4 Lb. ham maple or honey - sliced VERY thin (pretty much shaved)
- 2-3 Tbsp. apple butter
- 1 Gala apple sliced thin (you can use Fuji or Pink Lady apples too)
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- butter for grilling
Spread Brie cheese evenly over one slice of bread. On that same slice, layer ham, apple butter, apples, and cheddar cheese.
Top with remaining slice of bread.
Spread butter over the outside of the sandwich and grill in a skillet over medium-low heat as if making a grilled cheese sandwich.
Slice in half and serve hot.

That looks so good! Brie cheese slightly scares me. Do you have a good suggestion for a substitute?
Erica says
Your could probably just do cream cheese if you had to!

These look so delicious! I’m not familiar with apple butter. Can you buy it at a regular grocery store? Is it by other dairy products? I just recently discovered your blog and I can’t wait to try so many things. Thanks for sharing!

You can find it by the jams and jellies. Smuckers brand has one that is pretty decent
