1. Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until they are crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
2. Prepare the apple: Wash and core the apple, then slice it into thin rounds or wedges for easy layering.
3. Toast the bread: Optional step - Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice and toast them in the skillet or toaster until golden brown.
4. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter onto one side of each slice of bread. On two of the slices, layer apple slices and 2 strips of bacon each.
5. Combine and serve: Place the remaining bread slices (peanut butter side down) on top of the apple and bacon layers. Slice the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately.
