Recipe Ingredients

8 large Red Delicious apples
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp. sugar
1 10-oz. jar strawberry or cherry sauce

Directions

1. Wash, peel and core the apples. Then cut each apple into 8 pieces.

2. Dip the cut apples into the lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.

3. To prepare the fangs, cut the apple slices into long, narrow triangles, making pointy tooth-like shapes. Redip slices in the lemon juice and lightly sprinkle them with sugar.

4. Arrange the fangs on a serving platter with the strawberry dipping sauce in the middle. Make sure you splatter some of the "blood" over the fangs. Makes 10 servings.
