Just because October is filled with a plethora of candies and chocolates to enjoy doesn't mean that children can't enjoy a nutritious Halloween snack instead that is equally as fun. These homemade apple desserts are designed to look like grinning monsters and they're made using entirely wholesome ingredients.
Just because a dessert uses healthy ingredients doesn't mean it skimps out on flavor or fun as this apple monster recipe by Two Healthy Kitchens highlights. The ghoulish creatures are recreated using green and red apple slices layered with a nut-free butter and topped with puffed cereal to replicate teeth, red grapes to make the pointy tongue, green grapes to form eyes and chocolate chips as the pupils.
