We like a good sandwich. Who doesn't? Packed with produce as this one is, and
you can grab a handful of chips and call it lunch, or set it next to a bowl of
soup for a satisfying supper. This recipe was submitted by Karen Paulus of
Paulus Orchards in Dillsburg, PA.
She tells us that it was a prizewinner in the "Simply Delicious, Simply
Nutritious Pennsylvania Vegetable Recipe Contest". We really enjoyed the
combination of savory and sweet in this sandwich. Thanks, Karen!
We played with the recipe and found it pleasingly adaptable. Some of our adaptations follow the original recipe, below.
- 1/4 Red Delicious apple, thinly sliced
- 1 slice whole wheat bread
- 1/2 T. butter
- 1/3 c. broccoli
- 1 button mushroom, sliced
- 1 T. chopped onion
- 2 T. golden raisins
- 1 T. chopped walnuts
- 1 1/2 T. mayonnaise or Thousand Island dressing
- 1 ounce pepper jack cheese, sliced
Arrange the unpeeled apple slices on the bread. Melt the butter in a small
skillet. Add the broccoli, mushroom, onion, raisins, and walnuts. Sauté until
the vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in the mayonnaise. Spoon over the apple.
Top with the cheese.
Place the sandwich on a baking sheet and broil about six inches from the heat
for one minute or until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.

Any crisp apple will do well here. We liked this sandwich best when we toasted
the bread before assembling the sandwich. We substituted fontina cheese for the
pepper jack, and liked it!
