INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to small bowl and wipe skillet clean. (TIP: You can let the shallot cook longer for more caramelization (a process that helps develop the shallot's color and flavor).)
Lay sourdough on clean work surface. Spread butter on 1 side of each slice and flip over. Spread Dijon on 2 slices and top with apple slices. Top with caramelized shallot and cheddar. Gently close sandwiches with remaining sourdough, buttered side out.
Transfer sandwiches to same skillet over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and cheese has melted, lowering heat if bread gets too dark, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut cheddar apple melts in half and serve with remaining apple slices.
