As the summer nights cool and the sun goes down a little earlier, we pull out our sweaters and we start to think of all our favorite fall memories. Come by and visit the orchards with your family or stop by a roadside stand to stock up on your favorite childhood treat (at least the treat your mom would always let you have). Apples are the perfect on the go snack and can be used in hundreds of different recipes. And when you purchase from your Maryland farmers, you’re helping contribute to the local economy.
8 slices 12-grain bread
6 ounces 2% cheddar, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
