Ingredients:

  • 3 large (approx. 1 lb / 450g) Granny Smith apples
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy almond butter
  • 12 mini chocolate chips
  • 12 sliced almonds
  • 12 dried cranberries

Instructions:

  1. Core and slice the apples into thick, uniform wedges (about 1/2 inch thick). Immediately toss the slices in the lemon juice, ensuring every piece is coated to prevent browning.
  2. Lay the apple wedges flat on a serving platter. Use a knife to spread a generous dollop of almond butter across the top of each slice, leaving a small gap at the front to create the appearance of an open mouth.
  3. Press two mini chocolate chips into the top of the nut butter for eyes. Place a dried cranberry at the bottom edge to act as a tongue, and tuck sliced almonds into the nut butter to create jagged monster teeth.
