Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large apples (any variety)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granola (any kind)
Optional Toppings
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Wash and core the apples thoroughly, then slice them into thin, 1/4-inch thick rounds to create the base of the sandwiches.
- Spread peanut butter: Evenly spread creamy peanut butter over half of the apple slices, ensuring good coverage for flavor and adhesion.
- Add granola and toppings: Sprinkle granola evenly over the peanut butter. If desired, add mini chocolate chips and drizzle honey for extra sweetness.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place a peanut butter and granola topped apple slice together with an uncoated apple slice to form a sandwich.
- Optional cinnamon dusting: Lightly dust the tops with cinnamon for added flavor and aroma.
- Serve or chill: Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness, or chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to help the sandwiches hold together better.
Notes
- Choose crisp apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji for the best texture.
- For a nut-free option, replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Granola can be substituted with crushed nuts or seeds for a different crunch.
- These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh to prevent the apples from browning; consider a light brush of lemon juice on slices to preserve color.
- Adjust the amount of honey and chocolate chips based on your sweetness preference.
