I spent the summer of 2002 in New York City interning at YM Magazine. The internship paid in glittery nail polish and Avril Lavigne CDs, which meant little money for exploring the NYC food scene. In search of cheap eats, I hit up joints like Gray’s Papaya (Recession Special) and Peanut Butter and Co. This recipe was inspired by the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl™ Sandwich I had at Peanut Butter and Co.

• 2 slices of whole wheat bread
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• Cinnamon
• 1 apple (preferably Granny Smith)
• Raisins

Cut apple into thin slices 1/8″ thick. Toast bread. Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread and cream cheese on the other. Sprinkle the peanut butter slice with cinnamon and sprinkle raisins on the cream cheese slice. Add apple slices, assemble, and enjoy.
