My family loves panini press recipes. The bacon, apple and tarragon in this recipe go together so well. If you don't have a panini maker or an indoor grill, you can easily pan-fry or broil these excellent sandwiches.-Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your panini a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the apples will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. You don't want them to be mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your panini.
  • Spread the cheese evenly on the bread. This will help to prevent it from melting out of the sandwich.
  • Grill the panini until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Apple cider paninis are a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover apples.
