Maple Ham, Brie and Apple Butter Tea Sandwiches

I have a definite sweet tooth… I can’t help it! The Apple Butter on this Ham and Brie sandwich gives every bursting bite of that sweet savory flavor that makes you want to eat more than your stomach can hold. My apple butter recipe can be adjusted on the sweetness and I would definitely take the sweetness down a little bit if I am using it as a spread for the sandwiches. Maybe a little sweeter when enjoy with my scones but either way.. these sandwiches are a winner!! I can’t wait for you to try them!!

8 thin slices whole wheat or pumper nickel bread

Apple Butter (recipe follows)

Cream Cheese (for spreading)

¼ pound smoked ham, very thinly sliced

Brie cheese

Sandwiches - Lay the bread slices out on the counter or cutting board.  I like to cut off the crusts of the bread with a serrated knife. 

Spread half the bread slices with a thin layer of apple butter.

Arrange sliced ham and cheese on top of the apple butter bread slices.  Spread the other bread slice with a thin layer of cream cheese, then set on top of the ham and cheese.

To serve, cut into squares, triangles or finger sandwiches. 

Apple Butter Recipe

8 cups of apples - cut into cubes  

2 ½ - 3 cups sugar

4 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp ground cloves

½ tsp nutmeg

¼ tsp salt

Apple Butter - Cut, peel and core the apples and cut into chunks.   Place into a crockpot and I splash some lemon juice on top of the apples to keep them from turning brown while you prepare the rest of the recipe

Add sugar and spices to the top of the apples.   Cover and cook on high for 3-5 hours or overnight on low, stirring and crushing often.  I like my apple butter chunky so I don’t crush it as much but you can if you like it smooth and even puree if you like.   Let cool completely so it thickens up. Refrigerate over night to get it to really thicken up. Use this spread for your sandwiches, scones, toast, etc. .  I keep jelly jars to store my apple butter in the refrigerator.
