What to do:

1. Melt butter in microwave.  Cut apples in thin pieces.

3. On one piece of bread, spread an even layer of apple butter.
4. Layer the apple, 2 pieces of bacon, and Gruyere cheese on the bottom piece of bread.
5. Spread a thin layer of dijon mustard on the top piece of bread, and place on the sandwich. 
6. Place the sandwich in the Panini maker, and let it cook until cheese has started to melt and the bread is toasted.

This panini is SO good!  The combination seems so unusual...apple butter and dijon mustard?  It sounds unusual, but it's delicious!  The apple gives it a very fresh taste, and the flavors marry very well together.  This panini could be served as either breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and goes great with soup!  Give it a try!
