Laura's Amazing Apple Turkey Croissant Sandwiches

Here's the recipe for the tasty sandwiches I served at Meleece's baby shower last year. They are my own invention and I am super in love with them. Someday, when my husband is a millionaire, I'll start my own corner cafe and bakery and this will be a HIT! Enjoy!

For 8 sandwiches

1 lb Sun dried tomato deli turkey breast meat (i know this sounds bizarre, but you CAN find this, or something akin to it at most grocery stores, like Walmart/Tom Thumb/Kroger, and it adds SO much to the mix of fantastic flavors in this sandwich!)
1 pkg Muenster cheese slices
2 gala apples, cored and sliced horizontally, so you can see a little circle where the core was (any other sweet, crunchy apple would work, just as Jazz, Ambrosia, or Fuji)
1 head romaine lettuce
1 batch of Laura's Amazing Sandwich Spread (recipe to follow)
8 croissants (cut in half like a bagel)

Compile like so, from bottom to top: bottom half of croissant, 1 slice Muenster, 2 slices turkey, 1-2 slices apple, 1-2 leaves lettuce, Laura's amazing spread on underside of top half of croissant.

If you like your sandwiches toasted, feel free to first toast the croissant with the cheese and the turkey open faced and THEN add everything else!

Laura Amazing Sandwich spread
1/2 pkg Cream Cheese, softened
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp maple syrup

Mix together! Can be made ahead of time and saved in refrigerator for a few days to a week.
