For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, consider using different varieties of apples, such as Granny Smith for a tart bite or Fuji for added sweetness. If you're preparing these treats in advance, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and prevent browning. A light spritz of lemon juice before storing can also help. Feel free to experiment with other 'teeth' options, such as sunflower seeds or even mini marshmallows for a sweeter twist. Just be mindful of any allergies or dietary restrictions. If serving to very young children, consider halving the slivered almonds lengthwise to reduce the risk of choking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Apple Wedges (5 mins): Using a small, sharp paring knife, carefully cut a lengthwise wedge from the skin side of each apple quarter. Leave the peel intact around the wedge to mimic the look of lips.
02
StepPrevent Browning (2 mins): Gently rub the exposed cut portions of the apple quarters with fresh lemon juice. This will help prevent oxidation and keep your apple teeth looking fresh and appetizing.
03
StepInsert Almond Teeth (8 mins): Carefully poke 5 or 6 blanched slivered almonds into the top and bottom of the cut-out area of each apple quarter. Arrange them artfully to create a 'snaggly teeth' effect. Get creative with the placement for a more unique and spooky smile!
