Step 1:

Using a gingerbread man-shaped cookie cutter, cut out shapes from each bread slice (yields 12 cutouts).

Step 2:

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.

Step 3:

Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto 6 of the bread cutouts.

Step 4:

Layer with thin apple or banana slices as desired.

Step 5:

Top each with a second bread cutout to form a sandwich.

Step 6:

Decorate the sandwich faces with raisins, mini chocolate chips, or sprinkles to make eyes, buttons, and smiles. Lightly press decorations into the bread so they stay in place.

Step 7:

Serve immediately, or wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

Notes

Swap honey for maple syrup or agave for a different flavor. For a nutty twist, add a thin spread of nut butter beneath the cream cheese. Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free version. Pair with fresh fruit or a glass of milk for a balanced snack.
