In case you’ve seen these apple sandwiches around, but have no idea how to make them…this is for you!
First, you’ll need…
Required Supplies:
- An apple (of course!)
- Some nut or seed butter like peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter
- Large knife, small table knife, and cutting board
- Small round cookie cutter (I got mine in a set from Sur la Table)
Optional Supplies:
- Raisins
- Lemon – to keep apple from turning brown
- Toothpicks – helps hold sandwich together in a lunchbox that likely gets tossed all around!

There’s a lot of voter spamming, which turns the entire directory into a popularity contest with no information
on if a server’s a good fit for YOU. Then, open up the text editor gedit and create
a file called op. Google Docs in particular is a bit of a lifesaver forr group projects now.
I never made them into sandwiches (can’t believe I never thought to) but when I make apple “rings” I use an apple corer and then slice on my mandolin slicer, I did these for the kids at my daycare so slicing by hand would have taken to long
What almond butter do you use ? What do you recomend ? I got MaraNatha Natural Raw Almond Butter and I was wondering if it’s good ??? Thanks :)
Hi Roda. MaraNatha is a fine brand. I go for the raw organic version. :) Brad’s is another good brand. ~Amy
I bought the circle cutters. When I used it for the apple it split the side. I was wondering if my slices are too thick or if the apple is too small. They are small apples from my parents orchard.
Where do you get the divided containers?
Hi there. Here’s the low-down on the containers. ;) https://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2014/09/23/lunch-box-rumors-true/
We use natural peanut butter. Will it be too runny to make in the morning and eat by lunchtime? I’m just afraid with the peanut butter being so thin it will be runny. I could always make my own peanut butter in the food processor too…just wondering!
Hi Abby. It could be a little runny. I often drain much of the oil from the peanut butter that I need to be more sturdy. I keep another container fully intact and that’s the one I use for spreading on sandwiches and crackers.
I make turkey Swiss sandwiched with apple slices for potlucks and weekends. Devoured. Apple skidded slices with curried chicken salad, no ghost, are a huge hit.
