I’m excited to share this fun recipe I came up with for a healthy Halloween treat that I like to call Monster apple teeth! It’s a cute and easy Halloween snack idea and I think it’s perfect for any Halloween fest or party snack.

I started with three large apples that I cored and sliced into 1/4-inch rings. I then spread a thin layer of 1/2 cup natural peanut butter onto each slice and drizzled 2 tablespoons of honey over them for a bit of extra sweetness.

I even sprinkled a pinch of cinnamon to give it that subtle spice kick. To finish it off, I arranged 24 whole almonds to look like monster teeth around each apple ring.

If you’re looking for an inventive twist on Halloween snacks for kids or a Pinterest-worthy dessert, this recipe might just be your next favorite. Enjoy and have fun with it!

FAQ

Q: Can I use another nut butter instead of peanut butter?

Yep, you can totally use almond butter or even cashew butter if you're not a fan of peanut butter. They work just as great!

Q: Do I need to use a specific variety of apple?

Not really, but using firm ones like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp helps the rings hold their shape better.

Q: Is the cinnamon necessary?

Nah, it's optional. If you're not into cinnamon, you can leave it out, or even add another spice you like.

Q: How long can I keep these apple rings before they brown?

They tend to brown pretty quickly so its best enjoyed right after making them, or you can drizzle a bit of lemon juice to slow it down.

Q: Can I swap out almonds for a different crunchy nut?

For sure! Feel free to use walnuts, pecans or any nut that gives you that extra crunchy vibe for the monster teeth.

Healthy Halloween Snack Ideas Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Instead of using apple rings you could try pear slices or even firm kiwi rounds if you’re feeling adventurous
If you dont have natural peanut butter on hand, almond butter or cashew butter work just as well
You can swap the honey for maple syrup or agave nectar if you want a different kind of sweetness
Not a fan of cinnamon? A pinch of nutmeg or a bit of pumpkin spice can give you a similar warm flavor
If almonds arent your thing, try walnuts, pecans, or even a handful of crushed granola for a fun crunchy twist

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your apple slices are as even as possible cuz uneven slices can make it hard to spread that tasty mix evenly.
2. When mixin the peanut butter, honey and cinnamon, stir it long enough so it becomes super smooth and easier to spread, otherwise you’ll end up with clumpy spots.
3. If you like extra crunch or flavor, try toasting the almonds lightly first. Toasting them bring out a deeper nutty taste that works awesome with the sweetness.
4. Only spread a thin layer of the mix on the apple ring, so the flavour of the apple really shows through instead of drowning in peanut butter. Enjoy experimentin and have fun with it!
