Ingredients
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 2 tbsp smooth nut butter
- 2 strawberries
- pumpkin seeds
- edible eye decorations
Step by step
- Quarter 2 Granny Smith apples and trim off the core from each piece. Using a small sharp knife, cut a small wedge from the rounded side of the apple pieces to create a mouth, making sure that the apple still holds together.
- Taking about 2 tbsp smooth nut butter in all, spoon a little into each ‘mouth’, making sure not to overfill. Cut 2 strawberries into 4 slices each and press into the nut butter as ‘tongues’.
- Push the pointed end of a few pumpkin seeds into the top of the mouth as ‘teeth’, then add edible eye decorations, securing them with a small dab of nut butter on the back.
