Smoked Turkey & Brie Grilled Cheese with Apples & Spinach {and Apple Butter}

Recipe inspiration…hmmm toss up between one of those amazing Artisan Grilled Cheese Sandwiches (which almost implies healthy…hehe) and an unused hunk of Brie in the cheese drawer.  Doesn’t really matter which because it was the Apple Butter that stole the show.  Smoked Turkey & Brie Grilled Cheese with Apples & Spinach {and Apple Butter}.

This was lunch yesterday.  On a whim.  So great.  Wow.

Nice grainy bread, thinly sliced hickory smoked turkey breast, brie cheese, apple slices, fresh spinach leaves, and apple butter schmeared on both pieces of bread…pan grilled in butter.  So great.  Wow.

I was given a gift of homemade Apple Butter.  It has been sitting on my pantry shelf waiting for it’s time to shine.  And that it did.  It’s sweet but not too sweet, with a hint of cinnamon & spice. Let me share the recipe for this Apple Butter made in a crock pot and canned with love by Cindy.  Cindy, who is going to teach me how to can this coming summer.  I’m so excited.
