Instructions

Optional: To make hot honey, combine honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over low heat for about 5-7 minutes. Let it steep off the heat for 15-20 minutes.
Cook the beef bacon until crispy using your preferred method (stovetop or oven). Break into smaller pieces.
Prepare the apple by washing, coring, and slicing it thinly. Grate or slice the cheddar cheese.
Butter one side of each bread slice. Assemble sandwiches with cheese, apple slices, broken bacon pieces, and hot honey on unbuttered sides before topping with remaining cheese and another slice of bread.
Grill sandwiches in a preheated skillet over medium-low heat until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
