Apple Peanut Butter Teeth are a fun & easy snack the kids will adore. While apple teeth are a great treat anytime, they're fabulous for Halloween! The sweetness of the marshmallows will make kids overlook the healthy apple and peanut butter these are made with. They are so quick to make, that you can whip some together on the fly any day, and be the hero mom.
How to Make Apple Peanut Butter Teeth Snacks
Here is a quick guide to making the apple teeth snacks with pictures.
First core the apple.
A handy dandy core and slice all in one tool like this one is perfect for making this treat.
Once your apples are cored and sliced, spread peanut butter on one side of each slice.
Arrange a line of mini-marshmallows on half of the slices.
Then top off with another slice of peanut butter slathered apple to make your big toothed smiles.
Making Apple Teeth Ahead of Time
If you want to make your apple peanut butter teeth ahead of time, this is how to keep them from browning.
Soak your apple slices in a saline solution (1 teaspoon salt in 2 cups of water) for 10 minutes, then rinse and pat dry. This is more effective than lemon juice. Then simply assemble your smiles and store in airtight packaging until ready to serve.
Ingredients
- 1 apple
- jar of peanut butter (you will use about ¼ to a ½ cup for one apple-depending on amount you put
- mini marshmallows
Instructions
- First start by cutting the apple into slices. Then cut them into smaller slices.
- Now you want to put about a teaspoon or two onto each slice.
- Then put a row of mini marshmallows across one apple slice. Then sandwich them together. Press firmly until they stick and you have your teeth!

I soaked the apple slices in water mixed with a little bit of lemon juice, then pat dry before spreading with the peanut butter. This way the apples didn't "brown" while waiting to be eaten!

Great tip for making these ahead!

I love this idea, I think Carmel would work well for the “gums” too. Nothing better than Carmel apples in the fall!
Dee says
Caramel tastes great - and would work nicely to avoid peanut allergies. Caramel misses the nutritional value peanut butter provides.
Robin Gagnon says
Sunbutter would be a good option for allergies too. Caramel does sound mighty yummy though 😉

I would love to have the dump cakes and the apple teeth I just seen, if possible. Thank you

They are all easy to make. The teeth are very popular this time of year 😀

Love this! Other recipes call for slivers of almonds, which most kids aren't crazy about! Also, I am from RI, Newport in fact. Love and miss it!
