A classic snack gets a nutrient-dense upgrade with this high-protein peanut butter and apple sandwich. Crisp, thinly sliced apples are layered over rich, creamy natural peanut butter and toasted whole grain bread. Finished with a touch of cinnamon, this quick 5-minute recipe delivers the perfect balance of sweet, nutty flavor, healthy fats and sustained plant-powered energy.
Slice off the sides of the fresh apple around the core to create workable quarters.
Using the coarse side of a box grater, grate the apple quarters into coarse shreds.
Evenly spread a generous layer of smooth peanut butter across one side of both slices of bread.
Mound the grated apple evenly onto one of the peanut butter-covered slices, sprinkle the cinnamon on and then top with the second slice to close the sandwich.
Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat and toast the sandwich on both sides until the bread is golden-brown and crispy. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes.
Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy!
