Recipe: Honey Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Apple Sandwiches

An Amazing and Healthy Idea for Lunch for Kids

Today I’m at Fitbloggin and the amazing breakfasts and lunches we have are inspiring! I have so many recipes to share, I can’t wait! HOWEVER, it is still Honey Month and I’ve got a yummy sandwich that is so different and so yummy, that I packed for the kids last week. And also remember that honey berry waffle I posted last week? I could TOTALLY picture it having a cream cheese filling a little bit like the filling in this sandwich, and one day I shall try it and report back.

This sandwich is made up of a million different flavors but when they get together, it’s like a big party in a sandwich. I let my kids try a little bit of it before I surprised them with it in their lunches but they were excited to chow on it when I packed it. It’s really filling too and they got all addicted to sunflower seeds in the process.

Here you go! (Feel free to pin it to share it!)

A LA Honey Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Apple Sandwich!

Ingredients: 

• 8 oz. cream cheese (I used the lower fat neufachatel cheese), softened
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 8 slices whole wheat bread (I use Nature’s Own with no preservatives)
• 1 green or red apple, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
• 1 cup all-natural peanut butter

Directions:

Using a mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add honey, vanilla extract and cinnamon and continue to mix. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the honey cream cheese mixture on 4 slices of bread. Top with apple slices and sprinkle sunflower seeds on top.

Spread 2 tablespoons peanut butter on the remaining 4 slices of bread. Place peanut butter slices face down on top of cream cheese and apple covered slices.

I did the spreads a little differently than the directions called for, but it worked out! It always does…

Cut sandwiches into halves or quarters and serve!

mmmmmmmm. 

This cream cheese mixture was so good I wanted to eat it by the spoonful. It is DEFINITELY a great cream cheese filling for something… like WAFFLES! The cinnamon-y cream cheese with the peanut butter and the crunchy of the apple, it was delicious! It was a meal.

I hope the kids enjoy it, I know I mine did!
