Apple Sandwiches with Granola and Peanut Butter

Serves 2
From:  Whole Foods

2 small apples, cored and cut crosswise 1/2 inch thick rounds
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons peanut or almond butter
2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons granola

If you won't be eating these right away, start by brushing the apples slices with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.

Spread one side of half of apple slices with peanut or almond butter then sprinkle with chocolate chips and granola.  Top with remaining apple slices, pressing down gently to make the sandwiches.  Transfer to napkins or plate and serve.
