Applesauce Sandwiches

Great for the fall! A slight twist on the ordinary grilled cheese!

1 cup applesauce
8 slices bread
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 T sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Spread applesauce on four slices of bread; top with remaining bread. Lightly butter the outsides of sandwiches. Toast on a hot griddle for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over hot sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Italian Grilled Cheese

2 T extra virgin olive oil
2 slices bread
1 slice provolone or mozzarella cheese
6 slices pepperoni
3 T pizza or spaghetti sauce (I've used tomato paste and added some pizza seasoning, too)

Heat oil in non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spread sauce over both pieces of bread. Add cheese to one piece of bread and then add pepperoni. Place the other bread, sauce-side down, on top. Place in skillet. Turn after a minute or two, and continue grilling on each side until golden brown.
