Whole wheat sandwiches filled with creamy peanut butter mixed with applesauce, crispy bacon, and chopped fresh apple. Unexpected combo that works. Add lettuce for crunch.

This apple-peanut butter sandwich sounds weird until you take a bite, then it all makes sense.

Creamy peanut butter gets thinned with applesauce for easy spreading, then you stir in chopped fresh apple and crumbled crispy bacon for sweet, salty, crunchy goodness.

Slap it on whole wheat bread with crisp lettuce and you’ve got a lunch that hits every taste and texture note.

Chef Tips

  • Cook the bacon until very crispy so it stays crunchy in the sandwich instead of getting soggy
  • Mix the applesauce into the peanut butter thoroughly so it spreads smoothly without tearing the bread
  • Use a firm, crisp apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture contrast
