6. Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Another classic combination is apples and cheese. For me, cheese, like bacon, makes everything better. Turn that cheese into melty goodness, and I’m hooked. You can try this with any type of cheese you like, but cheddar, brie, and gouda are popular choices. Personally, I would keep the slices pretty thin, but you do what works for you.
