What Does A Vermonter Sandwich Actually Consist Of?

To eat like a true Vermont local, sink your teeth into a Vermonter sandwich. While the exact components can vary, two essential ingredients are apples and cheese.

The first Vermonter sandwich was made in the 1990s by Jason Maroney in Burlington, who was aiming to find more ways to highlight the state's apples in the local cuisine.

The cheese on a Vermonter sandwich is almost always cheddar. While it is common to toast the bread, melting the cheese is somewhat fruitless, as sharp cheddar doesn't melt well.

It is typical to include some type of sandwich meat, with turkey and ham being the go-to options. The sandwich usually comes on white bread with a spread of mustard.
