These apple monster mouths are a perfect after-school snack or addition to a Halloween party. The green apple monster mouths are easy to pull together and kids can help make them.
They all have uniquely goofball expressions - especially if you use the candy eyes and make their teeth a little wonky.
Ingredients You'll Need
Here's what you'll need to make some silly apple monsters!
- 3 green apples
- 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 2 ounces of sliced cheese (cheddar or Colby Jack both work)
- 2 tablespoons of pumpkin or sunflower seeds
- A package of candy eyes
How to Make Apple Monsters
Quarter the green apples and slice off the core and seeds. Carefully cut out a v-shape into the center of the apple quarter to create the mouth of the monster. Repeat with all the apple pieces.
Spread a thin layer of peanut butter into the monster mouths. Repeat with all apple slices.
Press several pumpkin or sunflower seeds onto the top of the mouth along the edge to form teeth. Repeat with all apple slices.
Place a triangular piece of cheese into each monster's mouth.
Using the remaining peanut butter, spread a small amount onto the back of the candy eyes and place them on top of the apple slices.

Preparation Tips - The only tricky part of this recipe is cutting the mouth out of the quartered apple. This will need to be done by an adult, as it involves holding a knife at an angle.
Specialty Ingredients - I highly recommend using Wilton's candy eyes for this recipe. The eyeballs give the apple mouths such fun expressions!
Storage
The apples will brown after they've been sliced, so I would recommend serving these shortly after you make them. If you have leftovers or need to make them ahead of time, they will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
