This is the better recipe. Love the use of sourdough, red onion and basil leaves. Be careful not to load it up so much that the cheese is no longer the hero in the sandwich. The apple will change the taste and texture. Also, add a jalapeno cheese to it to add some more cheese and spice. This needs work in my opinion but it gets my vote over the others. Wish I would have submitted mine.
