Tea Sandwich Saturday #41 - Harvest Apple Tea Sandwiches

Several years ago I helped with a church Christmas Tea where we served Harvest Apple Tea Sandwiches. I've been thinking about them all week, so when I got to the grocery store I decided it was time to make some for this week's tea sandwich.

As I recall, we actually used raisin bread to make the sandwiches, and I was reaching for my usual loaf of Pepperidge Farm raisin bread when I saw this "limited edition" Pumpkin Spice flavor! Yum!

These are definitely more about "assembling" since there is no actual cooking involved, but here's what you need:

Harvest Apple Tea Sandwiches

Apples (I used Granny Smith)
Lemon juice
Raisin bread (or other flavored bread)
Creamy peanut butter
Nuts (I used walnuts)

Cut the apple into thin slices and soak them briefly in lemon juice to prevent browning. Spread two slices of bread with peanut butter, then layer with the apples. Once sandwich is assembled, use a bread knife to cleanly slice off the crusts, then cut into triangles.

On two of the triangles, I spread one edge with a thin layer of peanut butter and dipped the edge into chopped walnuts. I can't think of an easier, better or more delicious fall tea sandwich!
