These Turkey Cheddar Apple Sliders are layered with savory turkey, sharp cheddar, crisp Honeycrisp apple, Dijon mustard, and sweet pepper jelly. Baked on soft Hawaiian rolls until warm and melty, they have the perfect mix of sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavors. They are great for using leftover turkey and work well as an appetizer, snack, or easy main dish.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Leaving the Hawaiian rolls intact, slice them open with a serrated knife so that you have one solid top and bottom. If using other dinner rolls that are packaged individually, just slice each roll in half lengthwise.
Place the bottom half of the rolls in the baking dish. Spread Dijon mustard on the bottom of the rolls. Then layer on 1/2 of the cheese, all of the turkey, and all of the apple.
Drop the pepper jelly over the rolls in small spoonfuls in the center of where each slider would be. Then top off with the remaining cheese.
Place on top of the rolls. Cover pan with foil. Cook at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and brush tops with melted butter. Place back in the oven uncovered for 5 minutes. Cut into individual sliders and serve. Serve 4 as a main dish or 12 as an appetizer.
