Peanut Butter Granola "Sandwich"

I made this as a bedtime snack for A.J. the other night, after he refused to eat my Moroccan couscous.  They looked so delicious, I had to make one for myself and gobbled it up after A.J. was tucked into bed and I was parked in front of the season premier of Glee!



As you can see, my photography is horrible, so I swiped the picture from the Whole Foods website (where this recipe came from), just to show you how delicious this thing looks!




Looks delicious, doesn't it?  And it's super easy to make.  Here's what you do.

1. Core an apple.  (I sliced mine up first, and then cored it.  One large apple made two sandwiches. )
2. Take your favorite peanut butter (or other nut spread), and spread it on both slices of apple.  Try to use a natural or organic, peanut butter. The fewer ingredients the better. 
3.  Take your favorite granola.  I used some homemade granola, but store bought is great.  I love Udi's brand!  Sprinkle the granola over the peanut butter on each slice.
4.  Put the two slices together and enjoy!

The original recipe calls to add chocolate chips, but I think it's already sweet enough with the granola and apple.  There are tons of variations you could try out.  Add some cinnamon, different varieties of apple, or granola, etc. 

This is a great recipe to make with kids too.  If we hadn't been running late that night, I would have A.J. help me assemble the sandwich too.
