Ingredients
  

2 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)

4 tablespoons almond butter (or peanut butter for flavor variation)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup for sweetness

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon for a warm spice note

1/4 cup granola (select your favorite flavor for added crunch)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

A handful of dried cranberries or raisins (optional, for chewy texture)

A sprinkle of sea salt for an extra flavor boost

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples:

    - Begin by washing the apples thoroughly to remove any residue. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Using a sharp knife, slice the apples into rings approximately 1/4-inch thick, ensuring to remove the core from each slice. Aim for enough slices to create 4-6 apple sandwich pairs.

      Make the Spread:

        - In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond butter (or peanut butter) with the honey (or maple syrup) and cinnamon. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and homogenous, ensuring that the flavors are well integrated.

          Construct the Sandwiches:

            - Select one apple slice and spread about 1 tablespoon of the nut butter mixture evenly over one side.

              - Layer on 1 tablespoon of granola, then sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips and optional dried cranberries or raisins on top.

                - Complete the sandwich by placing another apple slice on top and pressing down gently to secure the ingredients.

                  Garnish and Serve:

                    - Repeat the assembly process for all apple slices until you have a delightful array of apple sandwiches. For a flavor enhancement, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the top of each assembled sandwich.

                      - Arrange the sandwiches in an attractive manner on a serving platter for a visually appealing presentation, and enjoy them fresh!

                        Storage:

                          - If you’re not consuming the sandwiches right away, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To retain the vibrant color of the apple slices and prevent browning, consider lightly tossing them in a little lemon juice before assembly.
