For an extra layer of flavor, try using a flavored peanut butter, such as honey roasted or cinnamon swirl. If you prefer a sweeter sandwich, consider adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup before grilling. Experiment with different types of apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, for a unique twist. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness. A pinch goes a long way! To prevent the bread from burning, ensure the heat is at medium and flip the sandwich frequently.

Grill to Perfection: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread softened butter evenly on the outside of each sandwich. Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy (approximately 4 minutes per side). Flip carefully and continue cooking until the other side is equally golden brown and the filling is warmed through.
