Ingredients

• 8 slices soft sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 honeycrisp or granny smith apple, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Stir in the chopped parsley, dill, and chives. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Set aside the herb spread.

Step 3

Thinly slice the apple and toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 4

Lightly butter one side of each slice of sandwich bread.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of the herb cream cheese mixture over four of the buttered bread slices.

Step 6

Place an even layer of apple slices over the herb spread. Be sure the apple slices are close together to create a consistent texture with every bite.

Step 7

Top the apples with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing inward, and press gently to adhere.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, trim off the crusts from each sandwich, then slice each sandwich into two rectangles or four small triangles, depending on your preference.

Step 9

Serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh until serving.
