Directions
| Step 1 | Mix all of the melt ingredients together, except the bread buns and two quarters of apple reserved for the garnish. |
| Step 2 | TIP: Grate the apple quarters SKIN on and you will be left with the skin, so no need for peeling! |
| Step 3 | Cut the bread buns in half. Spread the melt mixture over the bread bun halves and place under a hot grill. |
| Step 4 | Grill for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbling. |
| Step 5 | Serve immediately with the remaining (sliced) apple, chutney and some salad for a light lunch or supper. |
| Step 6 | The filling is also wonderful served cold as a sandwich filling. |
