- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup strawberry or raspberry jam
- 4 strawberries, sliced

- 1 tbs lemon juice mixed with water
Method
- Prepare apples – cut apples into quarters and slice away the apple cores. Make cuts on the apple skin to form the shape of a mouth.
- Mix lemon juice into a bowl of water and dip the apple slices in it to prevent them from browning.
- Insert sunflower seeds into the apple slices’ “mouth” to form “teeth”.
- Cut strawberries into slices. Apply peanut butter or jam on one side of the strawberry slice and stick it on the apple slice to form a “tongue”.
- Stick the candy eyes on the apple slices with peanut butter.
