Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 3 large apples
Spread
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Teeth & Decoration
- Mini marshmallows, or candy corn, or almond slivers (to make teeth)
- Candy eyes
Preservative
- Sprite or lemon juice (to keep apples from browning)
Instructions
- Core and Slice Apples: Remove the core from each apple. Using an apple slicer or a sharp knife, cut the apples into slices to form the base of your monster mouths.
- Prevent Browning: Dip the apple slices in lemon juice or Sprite to prevent them from browning and to keep them fresh and appealing.
- Assemble Mouths: Take two apple slices and spread a generous layer of creamy peanut butter on one side of one slice. Use the peanut butter as glue to press the two slices together, forming a mouth.
- Add the Teeth: Stick mini marshmallows, candy corn, or almond slivers into the peanut butter between the slices to create the monster’s teeth. Use toothpicks if needed to secure the slices together.
- Decorate with Eyes: Place candy eyes on the top apple slice to complete your spooky monster look.
- Serve Immediately: Serve these apple monster mouths fresh for the best taste and texture, or refrigerate briefly to keep them crisp.
Notes
- Ensure to dip the apple slices quickly in lemon juice or Sprite to avoid browning.
- Use creamy peanut butter for easier spreading and better adhesion of the ‘teeth.’
- Almond slivers provide a healthier alternative to marshmallows or candy corn for the monster teeth.
- These treats make a great addition to Halloween party trays, offering a nutritious yet fun snack option.
- Use toothpicks carefully if children will be eating the monsters to avoid any choking hazards.
