Optional: juice of 1 lemon or lime to keep the apples from browning
16 hazelnuts
2 strawberries, each sliced into 4
Nut or seed butter
Sunflower seeds
Flies
8 raisins (or other small dried fruit)
16 almond slices (or pumpkin seeds)
DIRECTIONS:
Slice the apples into quarters then cut mouths out of the side with the skin still on. Rub all the cut parts with lemon or lime juice so they don't brown.
Place a small spoonful of nut butter on the bottom of the mouth. Insert 4-6 sunflower seeds into the top of the mouth, pointy sides stuck in. Place the strawberry slices on the bottom, over the nut butter. Scoop a little nut butter onto the bottom, flat side of the hazelnuts then stick them on above the mouth.
Flies
Make a small incision across the top of the raisins then insert 2 almond slices into each, pointy side down.
