cinnamon bread, cheddar cheese and granny smith...

What do you get when you mix cinnamon bread, cheddar cheese and granny smith apples? One amazingly divine guilty pleasure! Typically, this would be a "feel good Friday" post with healthy food but my friend shared this recipe with me that she stole from a grilled cheese cook-off who probably stole it from their great-granny. Anyhow, I was itchin' to try it out!

  

A Friday trip to Trader Joe's is typical for me so why not get all the fixin's for this amazing grilled cheese that I've been hearing about! Their prices are great and they always have the most interesting items. The possibilities are endless, this must be the reason I can never go in for just one thing! I used sharp cheddar cheese and layered thinly sliced granny smith apples over it. Grilled it just as you would a "normal" grilled cheese.

You could also use pears instead of apples or both together! I love to add pears in with apples whenever I bake an apple pie! This is exactly what this reminds me of when I bite into it!

I always finish off any dish with a garnish! I used a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cheese and placed a couple of apples along with it because I am OCD that way! On the side of the dish is nice but added to the top is even better!

Now although you may feel great while eating it, you are sure to feel guilty afterwards so once your food digests, take a little walk or just eat smaller portions on your next meal. Everyone needs a little guilty pleasure now and then!

Happy Friday Everyone!
