Apple Sandwiches are a delightful twist on your typical snack, blending the crisp freshness of apples with the creamy nuttiness of peanut butter. Perfect for a quick, healthy bite, these sandwiches are both kid-friendly and adult-approved!
Apples: The star of the show, apples provide the crunchy base for our sandwiches. Choose firm varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji for the best texture and flavor.
Peanut Butter: This adds a creamy, nutty layer that complements the sweetness of the apples perfectly. Use smooth or crunchy, depending on your preference.
Granola: Sprinkling granola adds an extra layer of texture and a hint of sweetness. Opt for a nutty or fruit-filled mix for added flavor.
These apple sandwiches are perfect on their own, but you can also serve them alongside a handful of trail mix for an even more nutritious snack. Pair with a glass of milk or a cup of herbal tea for a cozy afternoon break.
First things first, you'll want to give those apples a good wash under cold water. Once they're clean, core them using an apple corer, which will make it easier to create sandwich slices. If you don't have a corer, a simple knife will do, just be careful to remove the seeds.
Next, slice each apple into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Keep the slices uniform to ensure each bite is balanced. Arrange them on your cutting board and pick half of the slices to be your sandwich bases.
Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on each of the base slices. Feel free to go smooth or crunchy here — it's all about personal preference. Then, take your granola and sprinkle it over the peanut butter. You want just enough to cover the surface without overwhelming the apple.
Finally, top each prepared slice with the remaining apple rounds to create your sandwiches. Press gently to help them stick together. And there you have it — Apple Sandwiches ready to enjoy!
