Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Green Apple Monsters
  1. Wash and dry the green apples, then quarter and core them. Cut a V-shape in each apple piece to create a monster mouth.
  2. Spread a generous layer of creamy peanut butter inside each apple mouth to act as glue for the teeth.
  3. Press pumpkin or sunflower seeds onto the edges of the peanut butter to form monster teeth.
  4. Cut triangular pieces of cheese and place them in each apple mouth to mimic a tongue.
  5. Use extra peanut butter to attach candy eyes on top of each apple piece.
  6. Serve promptly on a colorful platter for maximum crunch and freshness.
