A little over a year ago I did a Gourmet Grilled Cheese post:

I've wanted to re-visit this topic and have finally been able to make it happen with the 'Adult' Apple & Almond Butter Grilled Cheese Sandwich! Now before you knee-jerk a "Eew Gross!" Think about this:
Apple Slices + Almond or Peanut Butter = Mmmm...good!
Apple Slices + Cheese Slices = Mmmm...good!
Therefore:
Apple Slices + Almond Butter + Cheese Slices = Hmmm?
No, the answer is Mmmm...good!
Store bought Almond/Peanut Butter is fine, but if you want to make the Almond Butter yourself then:
