Apple Sandwich Stacks
With all of the hullabaloo (fun word!) about pumpkin popping up around the blog world, apples, another autumn staple, sometimes fall to the wayside.
Not today!
Bring back the apple! 😀
Last week my friend Betsy sent me a link to a recipe for apple sandwiches, featured on Whole Foods’ website.
The minute I clicked the link I knew I had to recreate the fine lookin’ fruity sandwiches.
This morning I got to work, slicing an apple into horizontal slices before carefully cutting around the core to pop it out. (Yes, and apple corer would work wonders here, but I don’t have one. My apple corer also slices the apple, which is phenomenal, but doesn’t work for this particular recipe.)
Once I had several apple slices ready to go, I quickly ate all but four, because that’s all the recipe required and I was hangry!
I then topped two apple slices with about a tablespoon of peanut butter each before sprinkling the nut butter with ginger granola that I purchased from Whole Foods last night.
PB + Granola
Open-Faced Apple Sandwich
I topped the granola and peanut butter covered apple slice with the remaining nakie apple slice to seal the deal.
Topped Off
Autumn Apple
While making the apple, peanut butter and granola sandwiches, I enjoyed a peanut butter finger as did this little one…
My body is 95% Bones & 5% Peanut Butter
She needed the extra fuel after our 2.5 mile walk this morning and I’m not about to deprive someone who craves a lil’ pb. That’s just evil.
Workout
BodyPump, will you ever get old?
I sure hope not because that class always is a good workout and makes me do exercises I despise but know are highly effective (squats, lunges).
Today’s class was a great one and included the song “Now You’re Gone” by Basshunter during the shoulder track. That techno gem is my favorite BodyPump song everrr. (Ross, I figured you might appreciate that one too! 😉 )
Now it’s time to get to work, my friends!
Let’s start this week on a good note. Happy Monday!

That looks delicious Julie! Thank you for always sharing your healthy and creative recipes! I love trying them out =)
I can’t wait to make this as a snack!!! I need to get some of that ginger granola. I bet that really makes it! 🙂 Gorgeous.
it really did. it’s such a unique flavor! i love it!
What a great idea!!!
WOW! So creative:)
Yum yum. That may be a snack this week for me!
That looks awesome! Apples are my favourite fall fruit, but ive never made a sandwich with them 🙂
that apple sandwich looks delicious! I will definitely be making that at some point today!!!
I imagine it would be delicious if you microwaved it for a minute or so to soften the apple- yum!
Ooo very creative apple sandwich! I was just thinking of putting granola in a sandwich thin.
Oh my goodness, that looks so tasty! I love apples, peanut butter, and granola! I have GOT to try and make this cute little sandwich 🙂
Yum! I always enjoy your nutritious recipes, and this one is no different. I will definitely try this one sometime this week 🙂
I love apples made interesting like that. you should try stuffing an apple with something, and then baking it, it’s really awesome when it’s all warm and sizzly 🙂
That look so yummy and filling – a great post-workout food! Can’t wait to try it!
Looks yummy!
Yum– this is definitely the perfect fall breakfast!
Wow what a great fall breakfast! This looks delicious and it’s healthy. There is no better combination. I may have to do another fall recipe post soon. 🙂
That apple sandwich literally made me smile. What a great snack! Thanks for sharing!
Love seeing apple & pumpkin all over the blog world!! Now if only the temperature would cooperate… 😉
seriously how much more creative could you get?! this is such a cute idea!
This meal made me smile from ear to ear 🙂
Yummy, I love apples in the fall
LOL I agree w/ Kristy–for some reason this made me smile! It would be real good w/ some cottage cheese or greek yog on top on one side and PB on the other…if ya like that sorta thing.
That’s such a good idea!! Reminds me of the PB/Apple “cupcakes” on Oh She Glows awhile back. What a great fall breakfast/snack! Hope you have a great start to your week!
What a creative and delicious looking sandwich! I love it. YUM! 🙂
Have a great day Julie!
Holy Moly that looks good. I cannot wait to go apple picking to get some delicious apples.
OMG … I follow Whole Recipes on Twitter. How did I miss this one? Looks delicious. And the Honeycrisp apples are back … perfection.
Yum, that looks like the perfect fall breakfast!
My favorite apple sandwich involves a bagel, apple slices, and cheese… served open face and toasted slightly so the cheese melts into all the crevices. Sounds strange, but is SO delicious 🙂 A childhood favorite.
I love BP! I hate the lunges track, but I love when its over. 🙂
Wow! That apple sandwich looks so good! I’m going to try that!
what a cute idea for apples! I haven’t bought any pumpkin yet so have been frequently eating apples lately 🙂 I really want to go apple picking too but after my failed peach picking from this summer I don’t think I’m going to convince my boyfriend to go haha
I’m so excited to try this one out! I attend a similar fitness class called Sleek and Strong, and it never ever gets old. I love it! I always leave the class feeling like I had a great workout!
Those look absolutely amazing!!! I think I might sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top to give it that extra “Fall is here” feeling!
Great idea!!!
This looks pretty darn good! I will have to try it myself!
This looks yummy – a nice inside out version of a typical sandwich. I love, love, love apples and the idea of using them as bread.
I love eating apples with peanut butter – this looks absolutely delicious!
love that your post is different from pumpkin. I’m struggling to find pumpkin in my area so breaking it up and being different is key!
Agh! I hate fall! It makes me crave apples like crazy and my stomach can’t digest them. That looks so good!
Those apple sandwiches look awesome. I’ll have to try that.
What a cute idea! Apples are so yummy this time of year, and I bet it was amazing with the granola you just made.
I saw this last come up on my News Feed on Facebook last night after you commented on the link. As soon as I saw it, I had a feeling it would be making an appearance soon! 🙂
What a great idea…I am definitely trying this ASAP!
Yum. This looks way good. Love fun ideas!
The BodyPump shoulder track’s always have the best music! I really despise the shoulder track so it’s good that the music distracts me! 🙂
Oh man Julie that looks absolutely amazing! I am going to try this for sure!
What a clever breakfast!
I don’t think BodyPump will ever get old – loveee.
& I agree, the lunges are tough!
Why didn’t I think of that?! I’ve made banana sandwiches before so why not apples. I have to try this! 🙂
I went ahead and featured this recipe on my Fall Friday post. Check it out and thanks for sharing! http://chicagocuisinecritique.blogspot.com/2010/09/fall-friday_24.html
