Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium apples Choose your favorite type of apples.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter Can be substituted with almond butter for nut allergies.
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows These will act as the 'teeth' of the monster.
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds Used to represent 'fangs'.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Optional for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the apples thoroughly and cut each apple into quarters. Remove the core and slice each quarter into smaller wedges (approximately 1-inch widths).
  2. Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on one side of each apple wedge.
  3. Place mini marshmallows into the peanut butter to create the 'teeth' of the monster mouth.
  4. Use another apple wedge to create the distinct 'mouth' look; press it gently onto the marshmallows to secure.
  5. Sprinkle sliced almonds around the edges of the peanut butter to represent the 'fangs'. Optionally dust with ground cinnamon.
  6. Serve your Monster Mouth Apple Bites on a plate and enjoy!

Notes

Prepare the bites just before serving to prevent browning. A quick squeeze of lemon juice will help maintain freshness if prepared ahead. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
