 Peanut butter or seed butter
 Sunflower seeds or slivered almonds
 Strawberry slices
 Fondant or Googly eyes *See note.

Cut your apples in quarters. Leave peels on. Place them in a bowl with lemon juice for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

2

Cut off the core part from each apple.

3

Cut a small wedge out of the peel side of the apple. (See picture.)

4

Spread bottom of the opening with peanut or seed butter.

5

Embed either sunflower seeds or almond slivers in the top and bottom edges of the apple to make “teeth.” (See picture.)

6

Place a strawberry slice on the bottom half as a “tongue.”

Note:
As an alternative to the nut or seed butter, you can use strawberry preserves. If you choose this option, use half of a red or green grape as a tongue.
