Ham and Cheese Apple Panini

I hate cold sandwiches.

There are times when I don't have a choice and have to eat my sandwiches cold; i.e. at work. It's the worst thing ever! Unless it's a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I like my bread toasted and crunchy. My cheese has to be warm and melted. On the weekends I like to make elaborate sandwiches so that I can actually enjoy them pressed between my panini maker.

Bread and cheese. I've got a thing for you.

This is sandwich is very easy to make with staples I'm sure you have in your fridge. Ham, cheese, dijon mustard, and mayonnaise. I don't normally have red onions in the house but I had half of one leftover from pizza night. I think it really makes a difference in this sandwich.
