Fried Pork Cheddar Sammies with Apple Caramel

Southerleigh Fine Food and Brew got creative when they moved to an all take-out menu. The 2020 Neighborhood to Nation contest winning sandwich stacked comfort foods in a Pillsbury™ Place & Bake™ Jalapeño Cheddar Scone: a battered pork chop, Cheddar cheese, and sweet twist -- simmered carameled apples, reminiscent of the classic pairings of cheddar and apple pie, and pork and apples.
