Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the apple thoroughly under running water.
- Using a sharp knife or an apple corer, core the apple to remove the seeds and create a hollow center.
- Cut the apple horizontally into slices approximately 1/4-inch thick. You should get about 6-8 slices from an average-sized apple.
- Place the almonds on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, coarsely chop the almonds into small pieces. Alternatively, you can place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Take an apple slice and spread a thin layer of almond butter on one side.
- Sprinkle a small amount of the chopped almonds over the almond butter, pressing lightly so they stick.
- Add a layer of granola on top of the almonds, again pressing lightly for adherence.
- Place another apple slice on top to form a sandwich.
- Repeat the process for the remaining apple slices.
- Arrange the assembled apple almond butter sandwiches on a plate.
- Serve immediately to ensure the apple slices stay fresh and crisp.
Tips:
- Choose a crispy apple variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji to enhance the texture of the sandwich.
- To make the almonds easier to spread, consider chopping them finely or using almond slivers.
- For an extra touch of flavor, try lightly toasting the granola before adding it to the sandwich.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of nut butter; peanut butter or cashew butter can make delicious substitutes.
- If you prefer a sweeter snack, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the almond butter before adding the apple slices.
