Peanut Butter Wrap with Apples

Laura Fuentes holding a stack of lunchboxes and a school lunch bag

Peanut butter and apples have always been an easy snack in my house, and wrapping this combo in a tortilla turns it into a quick, 5-minute lunch. I add shredded carrots for crunch and more nutrition, but with the peanut butter, my kids don’t even mind that there’s a veggie tucked inside.

How to Make It

Assemble
Spread the peanut butter over the tortilla. Add the chopped apple and shredded carrot down the center.
Roll it up
Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. Wait to cut it in half until you’re ready to pack the lunch.
Pack it for lunch
Place the wrap in a sturdy lunch container with sides in separate compartments.

Laura’s School Lunch Packing Tips

How do you keep the apples from turning brown?

Wait to cut the wrap in half until you’re ready to pack it. Keeping the apple tucked inside the whole wrap limits its exposure to air and helps it stay fresher.

Can I make it the night before?

Yes. Roll the wrap tightly and refrigerate it whole in a sealed container. Wait to slice it until you’re packing lunch so the apples stay fresher and the filling stays put. For nut-free schools, I’ve tested several peanut butter alternatives, and soy butter is the closest I’ve found to peanut butter in taste and texture.

Can I make it peanut-free?

Yes. Use a nut-free butter alternative instead. Soy butter is my favorite substitute because it’s very similar to peanut butter in taste and texture.

How do I keep it from getting squished?

Pack it in a sturdy lunch container rather than a zip bag. It keeps the wrap from getting flattened or coming apart inside the lunch bag.
