Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on one side of a bread slice.
Spread 1 tablespoon of jelly or jam evenly on one side of the second bread slice.
Layer the thin apple slices over the peanut butter, ensuring even coverage but not overloading.
Press the jelly-covered slice of bread on top of the apple layer to assemble the sandwich.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 0.5 tablespoon of butter on the outer side of each bread slice.
Place the sandwich in the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until evenly toasted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and slice in half before serving.
