1. Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly onto one side of each slice of bread.
2. Layer thin apple slices on two of the peanut butter-covered bread slices. Arrange the apple slices so they slightly overlap for even coverage.
3. Place 2 slices of cooked bacon on top of the apple slices on each sandwich.
4. If using honey, drizzle 1 teaspoon over the bacon on each sandwich for an extra touch of sweetness.
5. Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, peanut butter side down, to form two full sandwiches.
6. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the outer side of each sandwich slice (both the top and bottom).
7. Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice in half and serve warm.
