Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons apple butter

• 2 tablespoons minced green onion (scallion) tops

• 3 ounces low-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

In a small bowl, combine apple butter and mustard. Spread 1 tablespoon mixture on each muffin half. In another small bowl, combine ham, onion, and cheese. Spread each muffin half with this mixture.
