Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large apples (any variety)
- 12 pieces Gummy worms
- 1 cup Crunchy granola
- 1 cup Peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter as a substitute)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Slice off the top of each apple and hollow out the core using a melon baller or spoon, creating a small 'cup' in the center of the apple. Be careful not to pierce through the bottom of the apple.
Brush the inside and rim of the hollowed-out apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth.
Fill each hollowed apple with the peanut butter mixture, spreading it evenly inside.
Sprinkle the granola on top of the peanut butter layer to create a crunchy topping.
Gently insert 2–3 gummy worms into each apple, placing them so they 'crawl out' of the apple for a fun, creepy effect.
Place the finished apples on a serving plate, and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Enjoy these spooky wormy apples as a fun snack or dessert option!
