A Delicious Twist on a Classic Combination: Graham Crackers with Peanut Butter and Jelly

When you're feeling under the weather, it can be challenging to muster up the energy to prepare a meal, let alone something as complex as a gourmet lunch. That's why I was thrilled to discover that making graham crackers with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches is not only easy but also a delightful surprise.

As I lay in bed, feeling miserable from a bout of vertigo, I knew I had to come up with a plan for the next day's lunch. After all, my husband couldn't do everything on his own two nights in a row! With the BRAT diet ruling out most ingredients, I decided to take matters into my own hands and pack a simple yet satisfying meal.

Inspiration struck when I remembered a classic combination that never goes out of style: graham crackers with peanut butter and jelly. This sweet and savory pairing is a staple for many, but I wanted to add a twist by using it as the filling in a sandwich. The result was nothing short of magic.

To make these tasty treats, you'll need:

* 1 package (15 ounces) PICS refrigerated pie crusts

* 1 tablespoon finely crushed PICS honey graham crackers

* Peanut butter and jelly (your favorite brands or homemade varieties)

Here's how to assemble the sandwiches:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Roll out the pie crusts as directed on the label. Cut 4 rectangles from each pie crust, about 3½ x 3 inches in size.

3. Place about 1 heaping tablespoon of peanut butter and 2 teaspoons of jelly in the center of each rectangle.

4. Top with another rectangle, pressing gently to seal the edges with a fork.

5. Brush the tops with egg wash (beaten egg mixed with a little water) for a golden glaze.

6. Bake the sandwiches for 25 minutes or until they're lightly browned.

The result is a delightful combination of crunchy graham crackers, creamy peanut butter, and sweet jelly. Each bite is a symphony of flavors that will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.

So the next time you're feeling under the weather, don't reach for the usual suspects like bananas or toast. Instead, try making these graham crackers with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Your taste buds (and your stomach) will thank you!
