Peanut Butter and Apple-Bacon Sandwiches

I don't usually post recipes I have not tried, but I came across this from Better Homes and Gardens,10/2007, and wanted to get it saved on Zaar. I can already taste my lunch tomorrow. Yum! This original recipe is to make four sandwiches, so if you are cooking for one you will have to adjust.

• Ready In: 24 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup  peach preserves
• 1  dash cayenne pepper (optional)
• 8  slices  whole grain bread
• 1  crisp apple, cored and very thinly sliced
• 8  slices smoked bacon, crisp-cooked and drained
• 1⁄4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 -3  tablespoons butter, softened

Directions

1. In a small bowl stir together preserves and cayenne pepper. Place 4 slices of bread on work surface; spread slices with preserves. Top with apples and bacon. Spread one side of remaining bread slices with peanut butter; place, spread side down, over apples and bacon. Spread sandwich tops with some of the butter.
2. Preheat griddle or very large skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches, buttered side down, on griddle. Carefully spread unbuttered bread with butter. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side or until bread is golden and sandwiches are heated through. Makes 4 servings.
