Apple Sandwiches
Ingredients
1 tablespoon rolled oats
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons peanut butter (if allowed in KES Club)
3 tablespoons of vanilla Greek yogurt (if peanut butter not
allowed)
1 tablespoon raisins
1 medium apple
Directions
Combine the oats and cinnamon in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast, stirring
occasionally, until the oats are golden. Cool before using. Core and slice the apple into
6 rounds. (If you don't have an apple corer, you can slice the apple first and then cut out
the centers with a small cookie cutter or knife.) Spread 1 tablespoon of the peanut
butter or the yogurt (which ever you are using) on 3 of the apple slices and sprinkle with
raisins and oats. Top with the remaining apple slices to form sandwiches. Recipe adapted
