I found myself using applesauce with cinnamon on top as a dip for the sandwich. To get the correct applesauce to peanut butter ratio, the dipping was needed. Apple sauce sandwich au jous? This would be good for kids and it was a nice change from my typical peanut butter/banana, which usually fills me up a little too much. I used Ezekiel bread, which tends to stay very crunchy when toasted and prevented any sogginess from the apple sauce.

Wow! So simple and so good. Tried it on the kids (preschoolers) today and they loved it. We did spread a little honey on the bread first and mixed the PB and applesauce together to keep it from seeping into the bread. This will be on my list of quick and easy meals for the kids.

Always a favorite in our family! We have used peanut butter and applesauce on sandwiches for years...as well as on pancakes and waffles. Best toasted and thicker bread....and does help on toast to kinda mix pb and applesauce together so it doesn't run off...as it is slippery. But so very yummy.

I did not care for this sandwich. It tasted a bit too dry, so I ended up dipping the sandwich in more applesauce. The combination of these two ingredients in a sandwich just didn't suit my taste. I'm sorry I wasn't able to give this recipe a good review, but I am glad to see others enjoyed the sandwich.

I've used both cinnamon and regular applesuace for these, but the cinnamon is better. I wasn't sure if I would like this, but it's a new favorite now and makes a quick lunch.

One of my favorites. I suggest using Dave's Killer bread, toasting your bread, use either natural peanut butter or almond butter and either homemade or organic cinnamon applesauce. This is both my kids' and my favorite. Great breakfast food to jumpstart your day.

I did not care for this recipe...my son whose two favorite things are peanut butter sandwiches and applesauce...did not like it!! I made him a normal peanut butter & jellly sandwich instead, (spread with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and heated on griddle), he loved that.

I really loved this sandwich! It was really early in the morning, so I couldn't COOK anything, as I'd wake everyone. I was also craving something I couldn't place my finger on. When I came upon this recipe I had to try it! Though I used natural peanut butter, natural apple sauce, and whole grain bread. I loved it, it was exactly what I wanted! Especially since I don't like regular jelly with peanut butter. Definitely a sandwich I will be making in the future, it's a great tasting sandwich that can be good for you!

I just gave this a try since I had all the ingredients on hand. I made it exactly as written, using Honey Wheat bread and plain (non-cinnamon) applesauce. It did taste pretty good, but I think I still prefer (berry) jelly with my peanut butter - decades of experience is hard to change! Thanks for the idea, though.

This was good, but I prefer classic PB&J sandwiches. After reading other reviews, I mixed the applesauce with the peanut butter ahead of time, then took the extra precaution of lightly toasting the bread to keep the applesauce from making the bread soggy. After mixing with the peanut butter, it would've been fine on untoasted. I used honey wheat, which is sturdier than your average white bread. If you'd like a less sweet PB&J sandwich, this is definitely what you're looking for. Glad I tried it!
