What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 3 slices deli turkey
  • 1 oz havarti cheese, sliced
  • 2 tbsp apple butter
  • A few baby spinach leaves

How to Make It

  1. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
  2. Spread apple butter on one arepa.
  3. Layer the turkey, havarti and spinach on top.
  4. Close with the second arepa and press gently.
  5. Wrap in paper; the apple butter and creamy havarti keep it from making a mess.

About This Recipe

Apple butter is apples cooked down for hours until dark, thick and spiced — a Pennsylvania Dutch pantry staple. A swipe of it turns a plain turkey sandwich sweet-savory.
