Ingredients
1 medium apple, washed
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon raisins
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
Rinse the apple under cool running water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Place the apple on a cutting board with the stem facing up. Carefully cut the apple in half lengthwise from the stem down, then lay each half cut-side down on the board.
Slice each half horizontally into 6 thin half-round slices. Using a small knife or apple corer, remove the core from each slice.
Spread approximately 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter evenly on one side of each apple slice.
Distribute the raisins evenly among half of your apple slices, placing 4 to 6 raisins on top of the peanut butter on each slice.
Press a peanut-butter-coated apple slice (without raisins) on top of each raisin-topped slice, with the peanut butter sides facing each other, creating a sandwich.
Gently squeeze each sandwich to help the peanut butter adhere and hold the raisins in place. Serve immediately.
Comments
All three ingredients are stocked at every major Charlotte grocer year-round, and the cost per serving lands under $1.50—apples and peanut butter are loss-leaders across Harris Teeter and Food Lion. The five-minute claim is honest; slicing an apple and spreading peanut butter requires no heat or active cooking. It's quick weeknight food that doesn't demand attention, reheats fine if packed in a lunchbox, and works as a snack or light lunch for two, though families of four will need to double it.
