The Perfect Autumn Sandwich?

grilled cheese Meg has created what she claims to be the "falliest yummiest sandwich." Check out her recipe:

I start with Klinger's Bread Company Sliced VT Maple Oat Walnut bread. I butter both sides with unsalted butter and place one slice, butter side down, in a skillet over medium-low heat. Then I layer on 1/8" slices of Shelburne Farms two-year farmhouse cheddar cheese until the bread is covered. I place thin slices of Champlain Orchards Macoun apples† over the cheese, and top with the second slice of bread. Once the bread is browned and crispy, I flip* it and cook until the other side is browned and crispy too, and the cheese is melted. Plate, slice and enjoy!

This sandwich does sound delicious, but is it truly the yummiest sandwich of the season? We can't think of any way to improve it-- can you? [Related: Gothamist on grilled cheese.]

I'd go with a touch of dijon or grainy mustard on the bread, though horseradish mustard sounds interesting too.

grilled cheese with bacon and tomato, salted fries and a chocolate shake.

Or is it Betty Grable? I'd spread a bit of horseradish mustard on the inside of the bread before the cheese and perhaps add a few slices of pear to it as well ...

now why did i know it would be some juvenile trendoid sandwich that in a couple months we will never hear from again instead of an old reliable that has stood the test of time like say eisenberg's tuna?

I see Louise Brooks in the grilled cheese.

I like to add chopped onion and a tiny bit of Tabasco sauce to my grilled cheese for some heat. Then dip it in ketchup. Mmm!!

my gramms* used to make an open-face grilled cheese topped with banana slices, but she baked em, so I guess they're not grilled cheese. Highly rec'ed
