This is one of our favorite fall recipes. There is just something about combine cheese and apples with bacon that screams FALL is here.

*If you can’t find the thinner chicken breast steaks buy nice thick large chicken breasts and slice them yourself.
**My apple slicer is a 16 slice which I love for nice thin slices.
These were sooooo good. And they were sooo easy. I made them when I had time in the morning and baked them in the evening. Enjoy them.
Oh my goodness Tamy – this recipe is calling my name all the way!! Definitely a keeper! Perfect Fall deliciousness. xoxo
