Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Crisp the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the maple-cured bacon until evenly browned and crispy (approximately 8-10 minutes), turning occasionally. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

02

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Sandwich Base: Spread peanut butter evenly on two slices of whole wheat bread. On the remaining two slices, generously spread apricot jelly and lightly sprinkle with cayenne pepper to taste.

03

Step
5 mins

Assemble the Sandwich: Arrange half of the crispy bacon slices and half of the thinly sliced Granny Smith apple on top of the apricot jelly-covered bread. Top with the peanut butter-covered bread slices, creating two complete sandwiches.

04

Step
8 mins

Grill to Perfection: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread softened butter evenly on the outside of each sandwich. Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy (approximately 4 minutes per side). Flip carefully and continue cooking until the other side is equally golden brown and the filling is warmed through.

For an extra layer of flavor, try using a flavored peanut butter, such as honey roasted or cinnamon swirl.
If you prefer a sweeter sandwich, consider adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup before grilling.
Experiment with different types of apples, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, for a unique twist.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness. A pinch goes a long way!
To prevent the bread from burning, ensure the heat is at medium and flip the sandwich frequently.
