🍏 Monster Mouths 🍏

2 Servings

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Granny Smith Apple
• 2-3 Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Butter
• Handful Of Greek Yogurt Covered Raisins Or Cranberries

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cut apple into ¾-1 inch slices. Top one side of a slice with a thin layer of almond butter. Make it thin enough that it won’t drip off the sides. 

Place on a plate and top with about five yogurt covered raisins to make the teeth. Spread another thin layer of almond butter on another slice and put on top of teeth to make a mouth.  There needs to be enough almond butter so it will stick and not slide off. Repeat with remaining slices. Should make 5-6 monster mouths.

Tip: To keep the apples from browning brush tops of apples with lemon juice after you’ve put the mouths together.
