Halloween is round the corner, and we all are getting ready for the celebration. While candies and sugary bites are a staple of the Halloween buffet, you can add some healthier choices too such as these cute and quick vegan Halloween apple monsters. Yes, these are super healthy, made from apples and it takes under 10 minutes to make them ready for your Halloween party platter.
As a kid I always had the dream of living in a candy castle and eating chocolate all through my life. My thoughts quite resemble the dream of Hansel and Gretel in the movie or tale. I think every kid loves the idea of eating candies and collecting candies on an occasion like Halloween day. Even my little girl does. While I love watching her enjoying every single bite of the chocolate or candy she eats, somewhere within me that “health-conscious mom” worries for her teeth, health and nutrition.
It’s tricky to make the kids eat veggies and fruits happily unless you make them super yum or at least make them look good. Just like these apple bites are cute and super fun for kids. My little one jumped seeing these and enjoyed every bite of these cute little monsters. While she removed the nut teeth from the monster mouths, she ate all of it without complaining.
The recipe of quick vegan Halloween apple monsters is super easy and super simple. You will need some apples. Use Granny smith or green apples or just red apples as I have used. In short, choose any apple of your choice for this recipe.
Recipe of quick vegan Halloween apple monsters:
Step-1: Prep the apples:
- Take two apples.
