Halloween is just around the corner and at the same time it is apple season, and we've got a great dessert recipe for you and your kiddos to make together with apples to make your Halloween a little spookier!
These shrunken heads made of apples will make a fun and creepy dessert for your Halloween dinner, and will give a little fright to everyone in your family!
We suggest using Granny Smith apples for the best results. You will also need some salt and lemon juice.
Start with peeling your apples, leaving the stems intact.
Carve faces using a small paring knife or a melon baller.
Combine 1 cup lemon juice and 2 tablespoon salt in a bowl.
Dip apples in lemon juice mixture for 5 minutes, then arrange on a baking sheet.
Bake the apples at 200F for 8 hours.
Turn off the oven and let apples stand in the oven overnight.
Chill until ready to use.
Float the apples in a punch bowl or plunk into mugs for a spooky dessert.
