Ingredients
Apples
- 2 large apples, cored and sliced into rounds
Spread and Toppings
- ¼ cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 2 tbsp granola
- 2 tbsp raisins
- 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Slice apples: Core the apples and slice them into round pieces about ¼ inch thick. Carefully remove any seeds from the center to create a circle for easy filling.
- Spread nut butter: Evenly spread ¼ cup of peanut butter or almond butter over half of the apple slices. This creamy layer serves as the adhesive and delicious base for the fillings.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granola and 2 tablespoons of raisins over the nut butter on each slice. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips for a touch of sweetness.
- Assemble sandwiches: Top each filled apple slice with a plain apple slice to create a sandwich. Press gently to ensure the layers stick together without squashing the apples.
- Serve: Serve the apple sandwiches immediately for the best texture and freshness. Optionally, refrigerate briefly for extra crispness before serving.
Notes
- Brush apple slices with lemon juice before assembling to prevent browning.
- Use sunflower seed butter to make a nut-free version suitable for allergy-sensitive individuals.
- Refrigerate apple sandwiches briefly before serving to enhance crispness and chill the nut butter.
