Step 1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Remove 2 tbsp butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature. Wash and dry all produce. Arrange bacon strips in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast bacon in the top of the oven, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown and cooked through, 12-14 min. Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Carefully transfer bacon fat to a small heat-proof bowl. Reserve.

Step 2

Meanwhile, core, then cut apple into 1/4-inch slices. Add Dijon, whole grain mustard, mayo and honey to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.

Step 3

When bacon is done, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp reserved bacon fat, then apples. Sprinkle 1 tsp sugar over apples. Cook, gently stirring occasionally, until apples are lightly caramelized, 2-3 min. Remove the pan from heat.

Step 4

Meanwhile, halve buns. Arrange buns on an unlined baking sheet, cut-side up. Spread 2 tbsp softened butter on cut sides. Sprinkle cheese over top buns. Toast in the top of the oven until cheese is melted and bottom buns are golden, 4-5 min.

Step 5

Spread some honey-mustard mayo on bottom buns, then stack with bacon, apples and spinach. Close with top buns. Halve melts, if desired. Divide melts between plates. Serve remaining honey-mustard mayo alongside for dipping.
