Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Heat the avocado oil and butter in a medium saucepan on medium-low heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the onions and coconut sugar. Stir to combine everything and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize for about 15 minutes. To keep from burning, be sure to stir the onion mixture often.
Stir in red wine and balsamic vinegar. Simmer the mixture until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in the sea salt.
Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place 8 slices of bread on a sheet pan.
On 4 slices of bread, spread 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Divide the ham evenly into 4 portions and add on top of the mayonnaise.
On top of each piece of bread that has the ham, add one slice of swiss cheese.
Evenly divide the red onion marmalade between the 4 remaining slices of bread that do not have any toppings yet and spread evenly.
Top the marmalade with the apple slices.
Place the sheet pan with the 8 bread slices in the oven and bake for 7 minutes. The cheese should be melted, and the apples softened when they come out of the oven.
Add 1/2 cup of spring mix to the sides of the sandwich with the marmalade and apple.
Place the slices of bread with the ham and cheese on top of the bread with the spring mix.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve.
