CINNAMON-SUGAR ENGLISH MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the bacon to a skillet over medium heat and fry until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the butter, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla to a bowl. Using a fork, mash everything together until completely combined. Spread the mixture onto the split side of each English muffin half, completely covering the surface to the edges.
• Place the English muffins on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven. Turn the oven to the broiler setting and broil until golden brown and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully so they do not burn.
• While the bacon and muffins cook, add the peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until heated through and pourable, about 30 seconds.
• Assemble by topping the muffin halves with a layer of sliced apples and drizzling the warm peanut butter over the top in a thin stream. Cut or tear the bacon rashers in half and place 1/2 piece of bacon onto each muffin half, then serve.
