Fruity Peanut Butter Sandwich

Fruity Peanut Butter Sandwich

Here's an easy way to upgrade your peanut butter sandwiches with only a little extra effort!
Email  :  print  :  feedback  :   : 
Inspired by my love of peanut butter spread on apples, Chef James Brockman finely diced apples and celery and mixed them, along with a handful of raisins, into store-bought crunchy peanut butter. He then toasted an English muffin, spread on the peanut butter mixture and tossed on some alfalfa sprouts, just for fun! (If you don't like alfalfa sprouts, feel free to use your favorite lettuce.) Like our Sweet Egg Salad Sandwich, this sandwich is a great energy booster, perfect for lunch but especially tasty in the morning or before or after a workout. It travels well in an air-tight Ziploc® Brand Sandwich Bag.
