Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 2 large apples (any variety)
Filling
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granola (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Wash and core the apples thoroughly. Slice them into thin rounds about 1/4-inch thick to ensure they hold well when sandwiched.
- Apply peanut butter: Spread creamy peanut butter evenly over half of the apple slices to create a flavorful base for the sandwich.
- Add granola and optional toppings: Sprinkle granola evenly over the peanut butter. If using, add mini chocolate chips and drizzle honey on top to enhance sweetness and texture.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place the remaining apple slices on top of the prepared ones, creating sandwich pairs with granola and peanut butter in between.
- Add cinnamon: Optionally, dust the tops of the apple sandwiches lightly with cinnamon for a hint of warm spice.
- Serve: Enjoy these sandwiches immediately for the best crunch, or chill them for 10 minutes if you prefer them to hold together better before eating.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Fuji or Granny Smith for the best texture.
- To make this recipe nut-free, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- For extra sweetness without added sugar, drizzle natural honey or maple syrup.
- Granola types with nuts or dried fruits can add more flavor and nutrition.
- Best served fresh as the apple slices may brown if left out too long.
