Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by rinsing the three green apples under cool water, then pat them dry. Carefully quarter each apple, removing the core and seeds with a sharp knife. For an extra touch of creativity, carve out a v-shape in the center of each apple quarter to form the monster mouth.
  2. Next, take a butter knife and spread a thin layer of creamy peanut butter into the v-shaped mouth of each apple quarter, filling the cavity thoroughly.
  3. Grab your pumpkin or sunflower seeds and press several pieces onto the edge of the peanut butter-filled mouths to create the monster teeth.
  4. Take the sliced cheese and cut triangular pieces to fit snugly into each monster's mouth, representing their cute tongues.
  5. Using the remaining peanut butter, apply a small dab onto the back of the candy eyes. Place two candy eyes on top of each apple slice to complete the monster look.
  6. Once all your Green Apple Monsters are assembled, arrange them on a fun serving platter and serve immediately.
