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:
