Incredibly easy Witch Hat Halloween Appetizer for a Halloween party or an after school snack for the kids.  Serve with spaghetti on a cool October night!

Witch Hat Halloween Appetizer

One of my first Halloween costumes was a witch. Anyone remember those 80’s costumes? Costumes made entirely out of plastic, often with a face cover that was in no way safe for trick or treating on a dark street.  My Pinterest self cringes thinking back on that costume.  I pretty sure my wig was lopsided the entire evening.

I’m not dressing up as a witch anymore, but I am perfecting a piece of the costume in my kitchen. Make these INCREDIBLY EASY witch hat Halloween appetizers.  Make these for as a Halloween Food Craft for a party or as an after school snack for the kids.

This Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe will become a Saturday morning family favorite. Save excess and freeze or and serve over ice cream for a breakfast turned dessert recipe.

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe

Saturday morning. Saturday morning is often very special for our family. It’s the traditional big breakfast Sunday where we make a ton to eat, often a sweet treat like French Toast, Crepes Pancakes or Cinnamon Rolls. While the purpose of this is family bonding, it has become a family tradition. Additionally, it is a bonus to my husband and I because we can be a little bit neglectful about lunch in the hustle and bustle of a Saturday.

A fall recipe that is quite tasty and adorably cute is our Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe. You can shape your french toast into adorable apple shapes or leave the shape as a slice of bread – we bet a child will have fun prepping the toast if you go with a cute cookie cutter shape. The recipe is tasty and leftovers can be used on top of ice cream as a Saturday evening dessert. The recipe is a breakfast win and a dinner win!.. and like I said above, it is a lunch win. We are often not home Saturday mid-day and don’t have to spend as much on lunch because of full bellies!

There are only a few simple ingredients in our fall french toast recipe.  This recipe yields 4 servings. Multiple as needed.

How to Make Cinnamon Apples

It is incredibly easy to make cinnamon apples. Serve with your french toast. Refrigerate and serve over ice cream for dessert later!

Cinnamon Apples  Directions:

  3. Second, chop into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Next, in a pan with high sides, add sugar, butter and cinnamon.
  5. Cook over low-medium heat for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently until melted.

Cinnamon Apple Fall French Toast Recipe

How to Make Fall French Toast

Have little hands help you shape your toast before cooking it. Save scraps of bread for more french toast! Cut them into strips. They will not be straight (my kids didn’t mind). Cook them as you did the apple shaped ones and freeze for another day! You can always use your toast whole.

Serving Size: 2 pieces
Servings: 4

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Ingredients:

  • 8 slices whole wheat bread
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ C milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Apple shaped cookie cutter (we used one like this one)

Apple Shaped French Toast Directions:

  1. Cut out apple shapes by pressing the cookie cutter into the center of the bread and gently push the bread out from the cookie cutter, making sure not to break the stem or leaf.
  2. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla to a bowl and whisk until combined.
  3. Melt butter over medium heat in a large pan.
  4. Dip apple shapes into the egg mixture, coating both sides, and allow excess to drip off.
  5. Place onto pan and cook for about 2-4 minutes, checking frequently, until golden brown.
  6. Flip over and do the same.

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

No guilt. No gluten. Find a full list of Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes including turkey, sides, casseroles, veggies, breads and pies.

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Almost 40 and I still have yet to make a Thanksgiving turkey. I can master almost any Thanksgiving side, but a large bird in my oven is so intimidating.  Thanksgiving is either a major holiday for us with close to 100 people gathered or it is very small. I have a family of seven and one year it was only four of us (granted the twins were in my belly and not on the outside)! Does this holiday sway back and forth for any other family? I think because of this, the turkey has always been covered. If we have a large gathering, the more seasoned chefs cook. If we have a very small gathering, we go out to eat.

That being said, sometimes our small gatherings lead to Friendsgiving Thanksgiving. In this situation, where there are many dietary needs, I try to accommodate everyone with my Thanksgiving recipes. This includes, being Keto-friendly and/or Gluten-free. This got me researching gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes that are tasty for all dietary restrictions!

Ingredients

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Orange soda
  • Clear drinking cups
  • Permanent marker
  • Straws

If you are decorating your own cups, first prep them. You can do this days before as you do not want a fresh coat of permanent marker when you are serving a cold beverage.

First, using the black permanent marker, draw jack o lantern faces on the cups. (Here are some inspiring Jack-o-Lantern Faces.)

When you are ready to serve, place two scoops of vanilla ice cream in each cup.

Pour refrigerated orange soda over the top of the ice cream until the cup is full.

Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups

Orange Jack-O-Lantern

When it comes to holiday parties, the sugar that often loads the table is a lot. We have some amazing Halloween Food Craft Ideas, but in our most recent recipe, I wanted to provide a healthy snack option.

Have fun with this one and take a twist on the orange. Crave out a Jack O’ Lantern using an orange, hallow out and fill with fruit. It is the perfect healthy treat to a Halloween Class Party or even an afternoon snack.

Jack-O-Lantern Oranges

Just a few simple ingredients make these Jack-O-Lantern Oranges. Fruit and mixed fruit. I really love berries, but it is your choice. If you scoop out the oranges well, you can even use that to toss in your fruit salad!

You will need a sharp knife to help you cut out your face. We loved this highly rated kitchen carving knife (I have this in my home), we also used Kitchen Sheers to cut out some of the shape. If you worry about using a knife or scissors around kids, crate your adorable Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cup using a Sharpie Maker! We did this with our Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats.

Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups Ingredients

  • 3 Medium Navel Oranges
  • 1 cup Mixed Fruit – Your choice, I prefer berries

Yield: 3 Jack-o-Lanterns. Multiple as needed.


Orange Jack-O-Lantern

How to Make Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups

This recipe is not too challenging. While the recipe is great for kids, an adult needs to be present for the slicing!

Slice off the tops of the oranges.

Using a spoon, scoop out the pulp and insides of the oranges. You can place those aside for your fruit salad or toss them. They could make some fresh orange juice!

Using a knife, careful cut out faces on each orange to resemble a Jack O Lantern orange.

Fill each orange with mixed fruit and serve.

Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups Tip: Don’t want to carve with a knife? That is okay. Use a sharpie and draw the face on the front – that works too and is safe for little hands!

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

Making Edible Fake Blood is easier than you think – only two ingredients. Pour your bloody drizzle on our homemade cupcakes for the perfect Halloween Food Craft.

Edible Fake Blood Cupcakes

We love when the fall season hits – Halloween,Thanksgiving and Christmas. We are kicking off our Halloween ideas with our Edible Fake Blood Cupcakes Recipe. This fits perfectly with our Halloween Food Crafts for the Kids. Be sure to pair this sweet recipe with our salty and tasty Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies.

We supplied a homemade vanilla cupcake recipe, but you can use a box mix or you could pick up cupcakes from your local bakery. Just ask them not to ice the cupcakes. Sometimes I do that when I don’t have time for all the steps (aka baking the cupcakes) but I still want to personalize, home make cupcakes. No one ever knows (well they do, because I tell them. They find it as genius as I do!)

This cupcake recipe also goes perfectly with our trailer park murder mystery party!

You could add some flavoring like vanilla or cherry, but be sure to not change the thick consistency the corn syrup provides. Drizzle over the cupcakes until you get the right look.

Mix wet cupcake  ingredients together in a medium bowl.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients in 1/3 cup increments and mix until smooth.

Next, fill muffin cups almost full as this recipe does not rise a significant amount.

Place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from heat and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

While your cupcakes are cooling, make the fake blood by combining the corn syrup and food coloring into a bowl and stirring until the color is consistent throughout.

As seen above, using a decorating tip, make a hole in the top of each cupcake, saving the remnants from each hole for use filling the hole in a moment.

Place 1 teaspoon of the fake blood in each cupcake hole.

Replace the top of each cupcake hole.

Using your largest star tip and a piping bag, frost the cupcakes in a circular fashion.

Drizzle each cupcake with ample amounts of fake blood.

Enjoy!

Halloween Poison Apple History

The first rotten apple we know of comes from the Bible. It was never rotten but rather an attractive piece of fruit. When Adam and Eve ate the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, they were instantly aware of good and evil. Immediately the apple built a bad reputation and it becomes a fruit often selected for the symbolism of evil.

We are introduced to the Poisoned Apple in the fairy tale, Snow White. When the Evil Queen gives Snow White a poison apple to kill her, it immediately causes her fall into an eternal sleep.  In the Disney version, Snow White is saved by “true loves kiss” when a prince kisses her causing her to wake.

To carry on the tradition of this the poison apple, we put together a fun Halloween Food Craft; an incredibly easy poison apple craft and poison apple dip.

Halloween Poison Apple Craft

Poison Apple Halloween Craft Supplies

Poison Apple Halloween Craft Directions

Guys, I don’t have much for you. This poison apple craft is incredibly easy. You could look at the picture and instantly create the craft.

First, get two apples of similar shape and sizes. Cut each apple in half and fit them together.

Second, grab colored tables. We used blue staples but you could also use other colored staples, traditional silver staples or gold staples.  Separate individual staples.

With your apple lined up, you will press individual staples until your green and red apple holding them two halves together and forming one apple. Continue this process up the seam of the apple.

Once your apple holds nicely together, you are done.

Warning: Do not use this craft for consumption or eating. Display it on your tablescape or high up for Halloween decor but keep it away from small hands and little kids.
