Sandwich Ingredients
French Rolls
Granny smith apple, thinly sliced
Low moisture mozzarella cheese
Mayonnaise 
Pot roast, shredded
Leftover juice from pot roast (optional)

STEP 1 Turn your oven on the lowest broil setting. Cut your french rolls in half and spread mayonnaise on one half. Layer the half with mozzarella cheese. Toast in the oven, keeping a careful eye, until the buns are toasted and the cheese starts to melt. Remove from oven.

STEP 2 To the bottom layer of the french roll, add a layer of sliced apple. Next, add a thin layer of cheese. A top that, add the shredded pot roast followed by the other half of the french roll.

FIN. Serve hot with a side of the pot roast juices for dipping (if you don't mind getting messy 😉).
