Applelicious Sandwiches

2 Gala apples, thinly sliced
1/4 C. chopped walnuts
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
4.4 oz. crumbled blue cheese
1 Tbsp. honey
freshly ground pepper to taste
28 pieces of thinly sliced bread
2.5 oz. arugula
2 Tbsp. butter

Heat the chopped walnuts in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring often, 3-5 min. or until toasted and fragrant.
Combine cream cheese, blue cheese, honey, and toasted walnuts until well-blended. Add pepper to taste.
Spread one side of each of the 28 slices of bread with about 1 Tbsp. of the cheese mixture. Divide arugula among 14 of the slices of bread. Top with apple slices and remaining bread slices with cheese side down.
Melt 1 Tbs. butter on a griddle over medium heat. Cook 7 sandwiches 3-4 min. on each side until golden and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

Helpful Tip: If you don't have a griddle, use a large electric or other nonstick skillet.
