Cosmic Crisp^® Apple Caprese Sandwich

Snacking

Ingredients

1 Cosmic Crisp^® Apple, sliced thin, about 4-5 slices per sandwich
4 slices ciabatta or sourdough bread
butter or olive oil
1 garlic clove, halved
6-8 tomato slices, about 3-4 slices per sandwich
salt and pepper
4-6 slices mozzarella cheese, about 2-3 slices per sandwich
balsamic glaze to drizzle
2 handfuls fresh basil

Directions

To make your Cosmic Crisp^® Apple Caprese Sandwich, begin by drizzling olive oil or spreading butter on each piece of ciabatta bread. Over medium heat in a large frying pan, toast the 4 slices of bread until they are golden. Once toasted, remove the bread from the heat and gently rub each slice with a garlic clove half to add a touch of garlic flavour. Set these aside.
To assemble one sandwich, begin by arranging 4-5 slices of Cosmic Crisp^® Apple on the bottom layer of bread. Follow this with 3-4 tomato slices, seasoned lightly with salt and pepper. Next, add 2-3 slices of mozzarella, and drizzle balsamic glaze over the cheese. Complete the sandwich with a generous handful of basil and another slice of ciabatta bread on top. Repeat the process for the second sandwich.

Notes

This sandwich pairs wonderfully with ciabatta bread, but feel free to use any type of bread that meets your dietary needs, including gluten-free options. Similarly, the cheese can be substituted with a dairy-free alternative if required.
