Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by thoroughly washing the green apples under running water. Once clean, quarter each apple and slice out the core and seeds. Cut a v-shape at the center of each apple quarter to create a mouth.
  2. Spread a generous layer of creamy peanut butter into the v-shaped mouth of each apple quarter to enhance flavor and serve as glue for the teeth.
  3. Sprinkle pumpkin or sunflower seeds along the edges of the peanut butter lips to resemble teeth, adding as many as you like for unique expressions.
  4. Cut the cheese into small triangular pieces and insert one triangle into the mouth of each apple monster for fun fangs.
  5. Dab a small amount of peanut butter on the back of each candy eye and place them on top of each apple quarter for quirky expressions.
  6. Arrange the assembled Green Apple Monsters on a colorful platter and serve immediately.
