Open-Faced Apple Tahini Sandwich

From The Whole Foods Market Cookbook

Kids never seem to tire of this classic easy-to-make combination. Try Gala or Granny Smith apples, which go well with the nut butter. You may also want to try cinnamon raisin bread.

Serves 2

1 small apple (any variety, peeled or unpeeled)
1 teaspoon peanut, cashew, or almond butter
2 slices whole wheat or multigrain bread
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup to taste
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Core and cut the apple into approximately 1/8-inch slices. Spread your choice of nut butter on each slice of the bread. Lay the apple slices on the bread. Drizzle the tahini on top of the apple slices; then drizzle the honey or maple syrup. Sprinkle the cinnamon on top. Put the slices into a toaster oven, and toast on high. You may need to toast twice - watch the bread to prevent burning.
