Cooking Tip

Apples

Go ahead and experiment with apple types. I really love using Fuji apples as well. Granny Smith apples are more tart than Fuji apples so it makes it sweeter. I also like using Munster cheese with the Fuji. Delicious!

Serving Suggestion

Caesar Salads go really well with Panini sandwiches. The crispy crunchy sandwiches along with the drenched lettuce with Caesar dressing just complement each other so well.
