Sandwich should not be always meaty, cheesy and savory. This sandwich is like a desert sandwich yet packed protein and very filling actually. This sandwich is like a combination of peanut butter cheesecake and apple pie with more cheese. Soft buttery croissant make this sandwich just perfect.

How to Make Double Cheese Spiced Apple and Peanut Butter Sandw
- In a small bowl, mix together ginger powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.
- Cut apple into four, core and slice each quartered apple thinly. Put the apples into a skillet with brown sugar. Heat over medium heat. When it starts to sizzle, reduce heat to medium-low heat, stir in 1/8 teaspoon of lemon juice and simmer stirring occasionally until apples are tender and the liquid is gone. Turn off the heat, add the spice mixture, raisins and sliced almonds to the skillet and toss to coat. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together cream cheese, peanut butter, honey and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. Then spread the mixture on bottom of the croissant. Arrange apple slices with raisins and sliced almonds on the cream cheese mixture and put shredded cheese over the top. Put the top of croissant to close sandwich.
- Place the sandwich on a cookie sheet and bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 7-8 minutes until cheese melt and top of the croissant is lightly brown and crisp or your desired doneness.
