    In a small skillet over low to medium heat, add 2 tablespoons butter, sliced apples, 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. Saute for approximately 10 minutes.

    On work surface or cutting board, place down 4 slices raisin bread, and spread each slice with 1 tablespoon pumpkin butter. Next, arrange slices of cranberry cheddar( approximately 5-6 on each slice) on top of pumpkin butter. Divide apple mixture evenly on top of cranberry cheddar among each sandwich. Place 3 slices each of bacon over apple mixture on each sandwich. Top with approximately 4 slices of brie. Spread the additional 1 tablespoon of pumpkin butter on inside of top slice of raisin bread, and place on top of each sandwich.
