Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. In a bowl, mix the cranberries, sliced apple, honey, and cinnamon until well combined.

  3. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook the Sandwiches
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  3. Press down gently with a spatula for even cooking.
Serve

  2. Enjoy your sweet and savory grilled cheese!
