Cheesy Almond Butter Apple and Bacon Panini on a wooden cutting board with apple slices on a white background

Don’t be a meanie, eat a panini! My Cheesy Almond Butter, Apple + Bacon Panini has got everything it says in the title and maybe a little more if you add some extra love to the mix. It’s also got JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter in it, which is basically love, anyways.
