Ingredients

3 large apples Use firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter May substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter
mini marshmallows Use candy corn or almond slivers as alternatives
Sprite or lemon juice Prevents apples from browning
candy eyes

Equipment

Apple slicer
Toothpicks
Small bowl for Sprite or lemon juice

Method

Step 1: Prepare the Apples

Remove the cores from the apples. Use an apple slicer to create uniform slices. Immediately dip the slices into Sprite or lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 2: Assemble the Monster Mouths

Spread peanut butter on one side of an apple slice. Press another slice on top to form a "mouth" shape. Use a toothpick for extra support if necessary.

Step 3: Add the Monster Teeth

Insert mini marshmallows, candy corn, or almond slivers into the peanut butter along the edge to create teeth.

Step 4: Attach the Eyes

Use candy eyes to decorate the monster mouths. A dab of peanut butter helps keep the eyes in place.
