Apple Reuben

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon chile sauce
• 1 teaspoon chopped green bell pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped pimiento
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped chives
• 4 slices rye bread
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 16 to 20 thin slices Empire apple, unpeeled
• 2/3 cup sauerkraut, drained
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1. To make the dressing, combine all of the ingredients in a blender on high speed and place the dressing in a sealed jar.
2. Chill until ready to use.
3. To make the Apple Reuben, spread enough Thousand Island Dressing to coat one side of each slice of bread.
4. Top each bread slice with 1 slice of cheese.
5. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a saute pan, add the apple slices, and saute for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
6. Add the sauerkraut and cook for 1 minute more, just to warm.
7. Remove from the heat and spoon the apple and sauerkraut mixture over 2 of the bread slices.
8. Top with the remaining slice of bread, cheese side down.
9. Brush the outside of the sandwich with the butter, place in a dry skillet, and grill slowly on both sides over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side, or until the cheese melts and the sandwich is browned.
