  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 apple faces

Ingredients

Apples and Toppings

  • 3 green apples
  • 4-6 medium strawberries, stems removed and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, cut in half
  • 1 tbsp honey

Caramel Mixture

  • 15 Salted Caramel Apple Pie Candies
  • 1/2-1 tbsp milk

Eyes

  • 1/4 cup yogurt chips (24-30 pieces)
  • 2 tbsp mini semi sweet chocolate chips (24-30 pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eyes: Place 24-30 yogurt chips on a flat microwave-safe plate and microwave for 40 seconds until softened but not melted. Press a mini semi-sweet chocolate chip, flat side up, into the center of each yogurt chip to create eyeballs. Freeze the plate for 8-10 minutes until the eyes harden.
  2. Slice the Apples: Slice the 3 green apples into 4 quarters each, carefully removing seeds while preserving the apple. Using a sharp knife, notch out a slice on the skin side of each quarter without cutting all the way through, creating a mouth opening.
  3. Prepare Additional Toppings: Thinly slice the strawberries to create tongues and cut the slivered almonds in half to form teeth.
  4. Melt the Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 15 salted caramel apple pie candies with 1/2 tbsp milk. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 15 seconds. Stir until smooth. Add up to 1/2 tbsp more milk if needed to reach a creamy caramel consistency.
  5. Assemble the Apple Faces: Spoon a small amount of melted caramel into the notched sections on each apple quarter, spreading on both sides. Add a strawberry slice as a tongue and place the halved slivered almonds nearby as teeth. Position the almonds close to the strawberry tongue for support. Arrange apple slices on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
  6. Attach the Eyes: Remove yogurt chip eyes from the freezer using a small spatula. Spread 1 tbsp honey on a small plate. Flip refrigerated apple slices right side up. Coat the backs of the yogurt chip eyes with honey and press two on each apple face. Wipe away excess honey and press firmly to secure. Refrigerate for another 5 minutes until eyes set.
  7. Serve and Store: Serve the Silly Caramel Apple Faces immediately. Store leftovers refrigerated.

Notes

  • Placing mini semi sweet chocolate chips with the flat side up creates a more eye-like appearance.
  • Position slivered almond teeth close to the strawberry tongue to help them stick in place as the caramel hardens.
  • Placing the teeth upside down before refrigerating helps them harden securely on the apple slices.
