Instructions

Core and slice apples: Core the sweet red and Granny Smith apples, then slice them into ¼-inch thick rings, ensuring the slices are even so the sandwiches hold together well.
Apply filling: Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of your chosen filling—either nut butter or vegan frosting—onto one apple ring, covering it evenly but not overpowering the apple.
Assemble sandwiches: Place another apple ring atop the filled one to form a sandwich, then gently press to help secure the two slices together without breaking them.
Add garnishes: If desired, drizzle vegan chocolate over the assembled apple sandwiches, sprinkle hemp seeds or ground cinnamon for additional flavor, and optionally add granola inside or on top for extra crunch.
Serve or store: Serve the apple ring sandwiches immediately for the best texture, or refrigerate them. To prepare ahead and prevent browning, soak apple slices briefly in a lemon juice solution before assembling.

Notes

Use lemon juice on apple slices to prevent browning if making ahead.
Choose any nut or seed butter based on preference or allergies.
The vegan frosting adds sweetness and creaminess as an alternative to nut butter.
Granola provides a satisfying crunch—select a gluten-free option if needed.
Optional garnishes like chocolate drizzle and hemp seeds boost flavor and nutrition.
Serve immediately for crisp texture, as apples may soften if refrigerated too long.
