For the apple and cucumber sandwiches, mix the apple with the lemon juice.
Spoon the cream cheese into a bowl and stir in the herbs. Add the apple pieces and a little of the lemon juice.

For the smoked salmon, caper and cream cheese sandwiches, mix the cream cheese, red onion and capers together in a bowl.
Spread this mixture onto four slices of the bread. Top with the smoked salmon and close the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread.
Remove the crusts and cut the sandwiches into quarters.
