Apple Peanut Butter Delights

By srumbel

Hyacinth first enlightened me about this kid-friendly (and mom-friendly, and dad-friendly, and anyone-friendly) snack years and years ago when we first started homeschooling our kids and we used to swap easy recipe ideas; these delicious wonders were all the rage among homeschooling moms (well, all moms!) at the time. They’re a cinch to whip up, and perfectly satisfying for a handful of kids. Think of them as little portable apple-peanut butter pies!

Ingredients

• And here are some variations:
• 6 whole Whole Wheat English Muffins, Split
• 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
• 2 whole Apples, Cut Into Thin Slices
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
• Use softened butter instead of peanut butter. You’ll wind up with nice little apple pie treats.
• Use brown sugar instead of white sugar. Or do a mix of white and brown!
• Add a sprinkle of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Change up the bread you use: Bagels, cinnamon-raisin bread, sourdough…yum!

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Spread each English muffin half with about 1 tablespoon peanut butter. Lay slices of apple on top, overlapping and stacking a few.

Mix together the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle a teaspoon or two over each English muffin half.

Bake them for 10 minutes, then broil (watch them constantly!) until the top is nice and bubbly and starting to caramelize. (You can sprinkle on a little more cinnamon sugar after the initial 10 minutes of baking if you want to add a little more!)

Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then serve!
