Make the apple date jam. Combine 1 cup chopped apples with ½ cup dates, ½ cup water, and ¼ cup maple syrup in a medium saucepot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, and reduce to low. Continue to simmer for 10 minutes or until the apples and dates have softened. Remove from heat and blend until smooth. Let cool.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top and lay the bacon in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes or until crispy.

Assemble the sandwiches. Spread the apple date jam on the bottom bun and top with arugula, tomato, bacon, mozzarella, and roasted red bell peppers. Serve.
