Apple Peanut Butter Sandwiches
What happens if you remove bread from PB&J? Something amazing like the apple (low sugar crispy fruit ring) sandwiches with your kids' favorite nut butter.
Ingredients:
| 1 cup of rolled oats |
| 1 tablespoon of raisins, dates, or dried cranberries |
| 4-5 tablespoons of no sugar peanut butter |
| 1 teaspoon of local honey or agave nectar or natural sugar substitute |
| 1 large apple cut into 1 inch rings (decored/seeds removed) |
| 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon |
| 1/4 tsp. of ginger |
Instructions:
| 1 | Heat up the oats in a pan on medium heat with the cinnamon and ginger. Using a wooden spatula toss in the heat until browned. Remove from heat and place in a medium sized mixing bowl, add the rest of the ingredients minus the apple rings. |
| 2 | Taking two rings at a time, spread 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture between each set of rings. |
| 3 | Best served/eaten as soon as assembled to avoid browning of the apples. Enjoy! |
