Autumn Apple Cheddar Sandwich

Jump to Recipe

Fall is basically my excuse to put apples in just about everything—including sandwiches. This apple cheddar sandwich combo is one of my favorites for a quick lunch or packing up for a picnic. The tart crunch of the apple with sharp cheddar and a maple dijon spread? So good. It’s simple, delicious, and tastes like autumn.

Autumn Apple Cheddar Sandwich

Ingredients:

For the maple dijon mayo: 

• ¼ cup mayo 

• 1 tbsp each of stone ground

• 1 tbsp regular Dijon

• 1 tbsp thyme

• 1 tsp maple syrup

For the sandwiches: 

• Bread (baguette, sourdough, or multigrain all work great!)

• Roast smoked turkey breast or plant-based smoked turkey, sliced 

• Sharp white cheddar cheese, sliced 

• Apple, thinly sliced (slightly tart apples like macintosh, pink lady etc. are my favorite for this sandwich)

• Red onion, thinly sliced 

• Lettuce 

• Parchment and twine for wrapping (optional)

To make:

1. To a small bowl, add all ingredients for the sauce. Mix well to combine and set aside. 

2. To make a sandwich, spread the maple dijon mayo onto two slices of bread. Top one slice with the turkey or plant-based turkey, cheddar cheese, a layer of apple slices, onion, and lettuce. Top with the other side of the bread. 

3. Wrap the sandwich with parchment and tie with twine (optional).
