Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 3 large apples
Fillings & Decorations
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- Mini marshmallows, candy corn, or almond slivers (to make teeth)
- Candy eyes
Other
- Sprite or lemon juice (to keep apples from browning)
Instructions
- Prepare apples: Remove the core from the apples and slice them into wedges, ideally using an apple slicer for even pieces.
- Prevent browning: Dip the apple slices in lemon juice or Sprite to keep them from turning brown while assembling.
- Assemble monster mouths: Take two apple slices and spread creamy peanut butter on one side of a slice. Use the peanut butter to stick the two slices together, forming a mouth shape. If needed, secure with toothpicks for stability.
- Add the teeth: Stick mini marshmallows, candy corn, or almond slivers into the peanut butter between the apple slices to resemble monster teeth.
- Decorate eyes: Attach candy eyes on the top of the assembled apple mouths to complete the monster look.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with other nut or seed butters if allergies are a concern.
- Use lemon juice rather than Sprite for a less sweet option to prevent browning.
- To make it easier for kids, pre-assemble the monster mouths and allow them to decorate with candy eyes.
- Keep the apple slices refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness.
- Adjust the amount of peanut butter for easier spreading and sticking as needed.
