Grilled Cheese and Apple Sandwich

2 slices whole grain bread
1 tsp. Dijon mustard or honey mustard
1 oz. shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1 apple, washed and sliced thin
Butter or butter spray

Spread mustard on one slice of bread.  Top with cheese and thinly sliced apples to make a single layer of apples.  (Save the rest of the apples for an accompaniment to the sandwich).  Place second slice of bread on top and butter or spray the top piece of bread.  Place sandwich, buttered side down, into a nonstick pan on medium low heat.  Butter or butter spray second side of bread while first side is toasting.  When lightly browned, gently flip the sandwich until toasted on second side and cheese is melted.  Transfer to a plate, cut sandwich in half, and serve with remaining cut apples.
