This has to be one of the easiest Halloween treats in all of Halloween treat-making history. I’m really not a crafty person when it comes to making holiday things, but these were almost fool proof.
Note the word almost! Eric and I did a “test run” one night last week and we could not stop laughing at our first couple tries (note the dried apricot tongue and vampire blood! hah), but our apple bite skills seemed to improve slightly with time.
First you slice ‘em up. Feel free to rub a bit of lemon juice on them if they will be sitting out. This is why I like spreading nut butter on the middle to cover up the apple flesh – it hides a bit of browning.
You can also core the apple and then slice in into quarters, but I found this method above made for better looking bites. Plus, you get to eat the leftover middle piece, which you will certainly want to take advantage of.
Now, spread on some jam or nut butter for the tongue and then push some slivered almonds in for the teeth. For a nut-free option, sunflower or pumpkin seeds can work in a pinch. Likewise, you could also use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
Apple Bites make for a festive, healthy, and seasonal addition to any Halloween table. Given how much fun we had, I suspect kids would also have a blast making these.
Have a great Monday!
I saw this idea on Pinterest a while back. Aren’t they fun?!? I love stuff like this, especially if you’re entertaining this time of year.
So fun and yummy!

Ha ha-so cute! Creative, fun, and easy!
Nice! I’ve seen this sort of thing done, but it usually uses something like mini marshmallows, or fluff, or something I’d rather not use. Love how these look, but also that they’re a great, healthy snack! Will have to give them a try if we go to any Hallo-parties this year. :)
So cute, I think my kids will love making these!!
I’ve seen those too! I think they would also be incredible stuffed with homemade caramel. :)
LOL these are so cute! I must admit when I first opened the page I was a bit confused and thought, ugh that doesn’t look good! But once I scrolled down and saw what they actually where…how cute!
hah yea I could see that ;)
These are adorable and incorporate so many of my favorite tastes!
How perfect for Halloween! Healthy AND spooky :)
What an adorable idea. I love new ways to do old faves–my kids LOVE apples w/ pb (never tried apples w/ jelly). I know I already have the ingredients, simple to make, & fun. Excited to try with my kids. Thanks Angela for the cute idea.
Have fun, I hope they enjoy it!
Oh my gosh, I love this!

How cute are these!! Perfect healthy Halloween treat that’s fun too!
Too cute!!!
Too cute!!! Where do you come up with the stuff?! I was thinking pinenuts would make food teeth too. I wonder if you could even make a pumpkin puree as the spread…
I saw pictures of these apple bites years ago…I’d say back in 2009! Had ’em on my list for a while now, hah. Loving the pumpkin spread idea too.
Haha these are so cute! What a great healthy treat for kids this Halloween season!
I read down quickly to see what you used for teeth. I was relieved it was slivered almonds because to me, it looked like garlic! That would keep the vampires at bay but still…
hah now that would be scary!
Ha, cute!
thanks for yet another fun-fantastic-healthy idea! going to do these for this afternoon’s snack having the 3 ingredients makes it so quick to do and my kids love the surprise coming home from school
these are so cute! Perfect for halloween! I’ll have to keep them in mind for a halloweeny type dinner! (:
So freakin cute! The little one is going to love putting these together!
