Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Peel, core and cube apples into 1/4-inch dice. In a 12-inch to 14-inch sauté pan, heat butter until foam subsides. Add onions and cook until soft and golden-brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add apples and poppy seeds and cook until edges are softened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add grappa and lower heat.
  2. Meanwhile, grill bread on both sides and place on platter. Place a cheese slice on each piece of bread. Spoon apples over and serve.
