Ingredients
- 1 medium apple
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon granola
Instructions
- Core and slice the apple: Carefully core the apple and slice it into 8-10 even pieces to create uniform apple slices for better sandwich assembly.
- Dry the apple slices: Use a paper towel to pat one side of each apple slice dry. This helps the peanut butter stick better and prevents slipping.
- Spread peanut butter: Spread a thin, even layer of creamy peanut butter on the dried side of each apple slice. Be gentle to avoid breaking the slices.
- Add granola: Sprinkle granola on half of the peanut butter-coated slices to add a crunchy texture and extra flavor.
- Assemble sandwiches: Top the granola-coated slices with the remaining peanut butter-coated apple slices, peanut butter side down. Press gently to bind the sandwiches together securely.
- Serve or pack: Enjoy the sandwiches immediately for maximum freshness and crunch, or pack them for a healthy snack later in the day.
Notes
- Use a sweet, crisp apple variety like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala for the best flavor and texture.
- Choose creamy peanut butter to make spreading easier and for a smoother sandwich.
- Granola adds crunch, but you can substitute with chopped nuts or seeds if preferred.
- Keep sandwiches refrigerated if packing for later consumption to maintain freshness.
- For added sweetness, drizzle a tiny bit of honey over the peanut butter before adding granola.
