I think butter is the key to keeping sandwiches from getting soggy. It adds a layer that the moisture doesn’t pass through. Personally though I don’t do that. I just pack all of the components separately to be put together when it’s time to eat.

Here's a video to show how to cut your apples the night before, then secure with a rubber band so the slices don't go brown.

You are right, sandwiches aren’t good sitting overnight and thermos doesn’t work. So unless they are up for a “snack” lunch just wake up earlier and pack it

Same here. It takes 15 minutes to pack our lunches. A quick assembly line. Everyone gets the same thing. Easy as can be.

More or less this. Mine sometimes want different sandwiches or snack stuff (pretzels, nuts, etc), fine. But typically if I'm washing and cutting fruits and veggies, they all get the same ones.

I make turkey and cheese sandwiches on sub rolls then wrap tightly in wax paper then freeze in a big freezer bag. I make enough for one week.
They thaw in the kids’ lunchboxes. Or if kids say they aren’t thawed take one out the night before and let thaw in the fridge.
The sandwiches taste fine and not soggy.
Doesn’t work with sliced bread. You need a sturdy roll.
