Ingredients

Preparation

For the Chutney:

Place all ingredients, except the shallots into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes.  

Saute shallots in oil until just starting to brown and transfer to a paper towel.  Pat off any excess oil and add them to the pan with the other chutney ingredients and cook uncovered, for an additional 20 minutes. Once a spoon pulled along the bottom of the pan leaves a trail, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.  Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week. 

For the Sandwich:

Any meltable cheese you have on hand

Thinly sliced apples - you will want a firm apple for texture, a Gala will work

Sourdough bread

Butter for the bread

Butter one side of 2 pieces of bread.  Place one piece butter side down in a frying pan on medium low heat.  With a fork, layer chutney, then apple slices, then cheese and top off with the other piece of bread, buttered side out.  Cook 3-4 minutes per side, until bread is golden brown.
