For an extra touch, try adding a drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze after grilling. Use a mandoline for perfectly thin and uniform apple slices. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Havarti. To make ahead, assemble the sandwiches and store them in the refrigerator until ready to grill.
