Caramelized Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich

This is a FAMILY FAVORITE. 
Lance loves these so much, that even after the 5th or so time, he told me:
  "You could make these once a week!"

Caramelized Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Recipe slightly adapted from Closet Cooking
Makes 2 sandwiches
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
  2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 dash of cinnamon
2 apples (peeled, cored and sliced)
1/2 cup shredded good cheddar cheese
4 slices of good bread (I used cheddar bread)
2 tablespoon butter
Directions:
Get four slices of bread ready by buttering one side of each slice. Shred your cheese.
Peel and core your apples. Slice them into relatively thin slices.
Melt the butter in a non-stick pan. Add the sugar and cinnamon and cook until bubbly. Add the apples and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
Assemble sandwich by adding (to the non-buttered side of two slices of bread) cheese, apples, and a bit more cheese. Put the plain buttered bread on top of each cheese and apple mixture (buttered side out).
Grill until golden brown on both sides, about 2-4 minutes per side.

March 8th 2012 we had them for the 2nd time. This time we put them in the sandwhich makers. It didn't turn out as well as the classic way. 

Pic is of a time in NY when we made it on "viking bread" from Reinwalds bakery. We liked the bread but don't prefer our sandwiches this way - we like them on normal size so the filing is not as spread out.
