Viral Apple Sandwich

The viral apple sandwich that stole my heart

Whenever a recipe tells you to replace bread with something healthier and low-carb, I have to suppress a shudder because I LOVE carbs, and the world is a little less vibrant when I have to forgo a meal without carbs. That was until today…

ENTER THE APPLE SANDWICH. 

Now, I’ll never give up a classic bread sandwich, but let me tell you, this apple sandwich was a 10/10. I would need at least 3-4 to fill me up at lunch but it was delicious. 

An apple a day…

Let me explain this sandwich a little more. So, I used chunky apple slices as the bread substitute and the filling consisted of mayonnaise on each slice, salt and pepper, slices of turkey, rocket and a nice bit of cheddar cheese. I imagine the sandwich possibities are endless. I feel a grape chutney would work amazingly well and any sort of cheese. I mean apple and cheese is a classic combo, right? 

I also used a pink lady apple because I wanted that sweetness. I’d avoid tiny apples as you’ll need to make apple 10 sandwiches for it to actually function as a meal. 

The Inspo?

A big thank you to Low Carb Love for the inspo here, as this is where I first discovered the recipe and one I’ll have stored in my saved folder for the remainder of time because that’s how much I enjoyed it. But please do make sure you go check out Low Carb Love for more delicious looking recipes. 

Any suggestions or tweaks? 

If you’re not into turkey, you could use slices of cooked chicken or even in add in some crispy bacon strips, which I can imagine would be absolutely incredible. And like mentioned earlier, a lovely chutney for acidic sweetness. At this point we’re not far off a charcuterie sandwich. Pickled red onions would also be delicious too.

Maybe I need a series based on apple sandwiches? Give me your suggestions in the comment box below! 

Can I watch this somewhere?

Funny you should ask. I have a full-on step-by-step tutorial of my recreating this recipe over on my YouTube channel that you can watch! Or even better, grab the ingredients listed below and enjoy a little cook-along with me. 

You can also watch me take on other viral classics such as the duck prawn cracker stack, parmesan crusted eggs, the cheese-stuffed sweet potatoes and the lasagne loaded jacket potatoes. It’s been a wonderful journey of recipe exploration, and I may have already made some of these again because, I mean, they are viral for a reason…SO PLEASE MAKE THEM. Let me know your thoughts in the comments or tell me what I need to try next.
