When I had morning sickness snacking on peanut butter was one of those things that helped ease my symptoms. It wasn’t long before I was tired of plain old peanut butter sandwiches so I had to come up with some creative ways to eat peanut butter. One of my absolute favorites is this apple peanut butter sandwich that I came up with…with the help of my mom who suggested adding a little nutmeg. Thanks, Mom!
- 1 apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced {I used a Gala apple}
- 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch of nutmeg
- 8 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
- 8 slices of bread {I used wheat bread}
- 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- Mix sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a small bowl.
- Spread around one tablespoon of peanut butter onto one side of all slices.
- Lay apple slices on 4 pieces of bread.
- Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the apples then add the last four slices of bread.
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook sandwiches until browned, about 1 or 2 minutes on each side.
Feel free to adjust the sugar and spices to suit your tastes but don’t skip the grilling part. Grilling the apples is what makes them soft and so yummy! I hope you’ll give the recipe a try and if you do please let me know how you liked it. Thanks!
I make peanut butter and banana sandwiches, but oddly I never thought to use apples instead. I am totally going to make this for lunch!

This is a fantastic recipe. We are big into PB&J sandwiches with fun twists since my son is now in preschool.
Oooh! That sounds so good! I wish I wasn’t allergic to apples. Apples used to be my favorite fruit!
I have peanut butter on an apple almost every morning for breakfast… but I don’t put it on a sandwich, lol.
