I’ll admit, my kids don’t like a ton of fruit. They probably only like a handful of different kinds of fruit. And I’m the same way, so I guess they get that from me. Some of their favorites are strawberries, grapes, bananas, and apples.
And while they will gladly eat an apple and strawberries when served, it never hurts to make snack time a little more fun. These silly apple monsters do just that and make for a healthy snack any time of year – make them in the fall, serve them as an after school snack, or anytime; apples are a favorite all throughout the year!
Apple Monsters Snack for Kids
Ingredients
- 1 Green Apple
- 2 Tbsp. Peanut Butter, Nutella, or Almond Butter
- 2 Strawberries
- 24-28 Sunflower Seeds or Almond Slivers
- Edible Candy Eyes
Directions
1. Cut the apple into quarters.
2. Lay the apple quarters down, and cut a 1 inch wedge in the middle of the peel side of each quarter. Do not cut all the way through because you want each quarter to stay in one piece. It will look like a mouth.
3. Cut the strawberries in slices lengthwise so that you have 4 pieces.
4. Spread peanut butter on the bottom of each mouth, inside the cutout.
5. Place a strawberry inside the cutout to resemble a tongue sticking out.
6. Poke 6 or 7 sunflower seeds or almond slivers into the top edge of the cut out to resemble teeth.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!!
