Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon rolled oats
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon raisins

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened peanut butter
  • 3/4 teaspoon honey

Produce

  • 1 medium apple

Instructions

  1. Toast the oats: Combine the rolled oats and ground cinnamon in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them while stirring occasionally until the oats turn golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool completely before using to ensure they maintain their crunch.
  2. Prepare the peanut butter mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the unsweetened peanut butter with the honey until smooth and well combined. This will add a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors.
  3. Slice the apple: Core the apple and slice it into 6 even rounds. If you don’t have an apple corer, first cut the apple into slices, then carefully remove the centers using a small cookie cutter or a sharp knife to create the classic sandwich shape.
  4. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter and honey mixture onto 3 of the apple slices. Sprinkle the toasted cinnamon oats and raisins evenly over the peanut butter. Top each with one of the remaining apple slices to form 3 delicious sandwiches. Serve immediately for best freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • Use a firm, crisp apple variety like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith for the best texture.
  • These sandwiches are best eaten fresh to prevent the apple slices from browning. You can lightly brush the apple slices with lemon juice to slow browning if needed.
  • For a nut-free option, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
  • Customize toppings by adding chopped nuts, flaxseeds, or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added nutrition.
