This is my take on the classic Pan Bagnat with step-by-step photos of how I assembled it, as shown in the recipe; this wonderfully sumptuous French Picnic Sandwich can be made WELL in advance, in fact the night before is best.
Each layer's better than the last, from the crunchy crust to the sweetened cream cheese, vanilla pudding and, finally, fresh bites of apple topped with caramel and peanuts.
Brownie mix, prepare for your debut in cheesecake. Cream cheese is your co-star, with applesauce making a surprise cameo appearance to help make this recipe a smart one.
