Halloween green apple teeth treat — Sweet moments, naturally.

Ingredients

4 green apples, cored and quartered
1 tsp lemon juice
1 (2.25 oz) package blanched slivered almonds

Directions

Cut the mouths.
With a small, sharp paring knife, cut a lengthwise wedge from the skin side of each apple quarter. Leave the peel around the opening to look like lips.
Stop the browning.
If you like, rub the cut surfaces with lemon juice so they don't turn brown.
Add the teeth.
Push 5 or 6 slivered almonds into the top and bottom edges of each opening to make snaggly teeth.

Before you indulge

Use Miracle Berry

Just before eating, take 2–3 freeze-dried halves. Chew gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds.

Discard any pit if necessary.

Tangy turns sweet. More possibilities.
