These Apple Monsters are the ultimate spooky snack—crisp apples, creamy peanut butter, and silly marshmallow “teeth” come together in a fun, Halloween-ready bite!
Slice the apples: Core the apples and cut them into thick wedges (about ½-inch wide). Each wedge will become a monster mouth.
3 large apples
Add the “filling”: Spread around 1 teaspoon of peanut butter on one side of each apple wedge.
6 tablespoons peanut butter
Add the “teeth”: Press mini marshmallows or almond slices along the peanut butter edge to form the monster’s teeth. Make them slightly uneven for a fun, spooky effect!
2 large vegan marshmallows
Assemble the mouths: Place another apple wedge on top of the peanut butter side to form a mouth sandwich.
Decorate the eyes: Use raisins, chocolate chips, or edible googly eyes on top of the apple wedges to give your monsters a silly or scary expression. You can even use a dab of peanut butter to stick the eyes on.
Optional decorations: vegan candy eyes
Serve and enjoy: Arrange your Apple Monster Mouths on a plate and watch them disappear—these spooky snacks are perfect for Halloween parties or a fun school treat.
Storage Instructions
These are best eaten fresh, but you can store assembled monsters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 hours. If prepping longer in advance, keep apple slices separate and assemble just before serving.
Notes
Tips & Tricks
For extra flair, use different colored apples for a more “monstrous” variety.
Use almond slivers, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds in place of marshmallows for teeth.
Sunflower seed butter works for nut-free versions.
You can drizzle a little chocolate or caramel for extra sweetness if desired.
