Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Arrange your bacon slices without overlapping onto the prepared sheet pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 min, or until nice & crispy, and done to your liking.

Alternatively you can cook the bacon on the stovetop.

Set aside on a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess grease.

Cut your apples into 1/2 inch thick slices.

To prevent the apple from browning, rub a lemon wedge over both sides of the apple slices.

To assemble your apple sandwiches place one apple slice on a plate or serving board. Top with crispy bacon and cheddar, then sandwich with a second slice of apple.

Sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired for texture.

Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Serve and enjoy!
