Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Apple (medium, any variety like Gala or Honeycrisp)
- 6 tablespoons Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 24 pieces Mini marshmallows
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning)
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut each apple into quarters, and then slice each quarter into thin, wedge-shaped slices. You should get about 6-8 slices per apple.
If desired, brush the apple slices lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter onto one side of an apple slice.
Place another apple slice on top to create a 'sandwich' with the peanut butter side facing inwards.
Gently press mini marshmallows into the peanut butter layer along the edges to resemble 'teeth.'
Repeat with the remaining apple slices, peanut butter, and marshmallows until you've created all the 'smiles.'
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 4 hours if brushing with lemon juice to keep the apples fresh.
