Instructions

Prepare Sandwiches: Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly on one slice of sandwich bread and the fruit jam or jelly on another slice. Press the two slices together carefully to form a sandwich.
Butter the Bread: Lightly spread the softened unsalted butter on the outside surfaces of the sandwich. Repeat this step for the second sandwich to ensure both are ready for air frying.
Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 370°F (approximately 188°C) and allow it to preheat for 2 to 3 minutes, which ensures even cooking.
Cook the Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, flipping the sandwiches halfway through the cooking time. Cook until both sides are golden brown and the bread is crisp.
Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the sandwiches from the air fryer and let them cool for 1 to 2 minutes. Optionally, dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet touch.

Notes

For a fun twist, remove the crusts and seal the edges with a fork to create uncrustable-style sandwiches.
Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter as allergy-friendly alternatives to peanut butter.
